What Makes Fraud Different From Negligence?
If you’ve lost money because of your financial advisor’s actions, it’s important to understand whether you’re dealing with negligence or fraud. When an advisor takes a fraudulent action, they know they are deceiving you. Negligence is a failure to exercise a reasonable standard of care when handling your finances, even without intent to deceive.
Telling the two apart is difficult without legal experience. It’s also important to note that many cases involve some combination of both. Our Cleveland financial advisor negligence attorneys can review what happened, determine whether negligence, fraud, or both are at play, and take steps to get justice.
How We Seek Damages for Financial Advisor Negligence
Our Cleveland financial advisor negligence attorneys take time to complete every step needed to strengthen your claim. When you hire our firm, we’ll take the following actions to get what you deserve:
- Meet with you for a free consultation to discuss your losses and explain your legal options in plain English
- Investigate your losses and the advisor’s actions
- Collect valuable evidence to support your claim
- Answer any questions you have along the way
- Use strong evidence to prove that your advisor acted negligently
- File a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) claim on your behalf
- Represent you throughout arbitration
- Fight for the damages you’re owed
- Keep you updated on your case throughout the process
Most negligence claims against a broker are resolved through FINRA arbitration rather than a courtroom trial. The FINRA arbitration process is often a faster, more streamlined path to recovering your losses. Our team has extensive experience with this process. We’ll draw on our knowledge and our firm’s resources to get a result that works for you.
Our lawyers are nationwide leaders in investment fraud cases.
