Serving Clients Throughout Indianapolis & Central Indiana
A tort is a civil wrong against another, but the parties need not only be individuals. Although it is often reasonably assumed that business disputes arise from a written contract, tort law protections extend to businesses without a written contract.
Commercial torts deal with improper conduct in a business setting, which causes economic harm to the wronged party.

Business torts are often sensitive, and reaching a prompt and amenable solution is frequently the optimum route.

Overview of Commercial Torts
In business law, commercial torts encompass civil wrongs that may be committed by or against an organization. These wrongs can substantially affect a company's reputation, relationships, and financial stability.
They primarily stem from actions that cause direct harm to a business, its resources, or its relationships, often involving unethical or illegal practices.
Common commercial tort claims include but are not limited to:
- Breach of contract: This is one of the most common commercial torts, where one party fails to live up to the terms agreed upon in a contract. The impacts can be significant, affecting not only the immediate transaction but potentially the long-term viability of a business relationship.
- Fraud: This involves a deliberate misrepresentation or omission of a material fact to induce another party to act to their detriment. Fraud can occur in various forms, such as securities fraud, insurance fraud, or corporate fraud.
- Misrepresentation: This involves making a false statement that induces another party into a contract. The misrepresentation can be fraudulent (made knowingly), negligent (made carelessly), or innocent (made without fault).
- Infringement of intellectual property rights: This involves the unauthorized use of a business's intellectual property, such as trademarks, patents, copyrights, or trade secrets. This can lead to significant financial losses and damage a brand's reputation.
