Business torts are a class of claims that can be brought for wrong-doing in a business relationship that is not a breach of contract. One major difference between business torts and claims for breach of contract is that punitive damages are available for torts but not for a breach of contract. In some instances business tort claims may be brought even when the underlying action stems from a breach of contract. For immediate business tort advice, please call 619.398.1882.
A claim for a business tort can be brought by either an individual or a business entity such as a corporation or a limited liability company. Claims for business torts can come from statutes or from common law. There are many different theories for business torts. A suit may be brought under one or more tort theories at the same time.
