What Is a Business Tort?
A business tort is a form of civil wrongdoing that occurs when a person or entity commits an intentional or negligent act that results in harm to another person or their business. Business torts are often committed by employees or competitors, as well as customers and suppliers.
Examples of business torts include the following:
- Fraud: Intentionally deceiving someone for financial gain. Or presenting false information to induce parties to do something or not to do something, resulting in damage to your business that does not otherwise arise from a contract.
- Defamation/Brand Tarnishment: Making false statements about someone's character, reputation, services, products, or business practices
- Interference with contract or prospective economic advantage: Interfering with an existing contract between two parties, including with customers, suppliers, or vendors
- Misappropriation of trade secrets: Using confidential information without permission to gain a competitive advantage
- Unfair competition: Copying someone else's business model or practices to gain an advantage;
- Negligent misrepresentation: Unintentionally providing false information that causes financial loss.
- Tortious interference: Interfering with a contract between two other parties such that the interference induces a breach of that contract
While it’s important for business owners to take steps to avoid a tort from arising, not all situations can be preempted. In these cases, acquiring legal assistance may become necessary to safeguard a company from legal threats and unfounded claims.
