What Must Be Proven With Consumer Fraud?
If you have been a victim of consumer fraud and have suffered damage as a result of misrepresentation, you must prove the following to win your case:

What is Consumer Fraud?
Consumer fraud occurs when manufacturers or sellers cause consumers harm as a result of providing false information that misrepresented their products.
There are three forms of misrepresentation that arise under common law, including:
- Intentional Misrepresentation (fraud) – A manufacturer knowingly deceives the consumer by presenting false information
- Reckless Misrepresentation – A company consciously asserts information that may or may not be truthful
- Negligent Misrepresentation – A seller carelessly communicates information that should be recognized as false
