Commercial Torts
Understanding Commercial Torts in California
While a Breach of Contract involves the failure to uphold a specific agreement, a "commercial tort" involves wrongful acts that cause economic injury outside the scope of a contract.
These claims are often complex, as they require proving that a party acted with intent or through a scheme to harm your business interests.

FAQ
Commercial Tort Litigation FAQ
What is the difference between a commercial tort and a personal injury tort?
While both involve "torts" (wrongful acts), a personal injury tort focuses on physical or emotional harm to an individual. A commercial tort focuses strictly on economic harm to a business entity or a professional’s financial interests.
Common examples in business include fraud, conversion of property, and Partnership Disputes involving financial misconduct.
Can I sue a competitor for spreading false rumors about my business?
Yes. If a competitor makes false statements about your products, services, or integrity that result in financial loss, you may have a claim for trade libel or commercial disparagement. A Fremont commercial torts lawyer can help you seek an injunction to stop the behavior and pursue damages for your lost revenue and damaged reputation.
How do I prove "intentional interference" with my business relationships?
To win an interference claim, you must typically show that a valid business relationship existed, the defendant knew about that relationship, they intentionally acted to disrupt it through "wrongful means" (such as fraud or threats), and your business suffered actual financial damage as a result.
