Auto Dealer Fraud Lawyer San Antonio Tx

If you’ve been the victim and are in need of an auto dealer fraud lawyer in San Antonio or Schertz, TX it’s important you take the right actions in order to secure the restitution’s you deserve.

In order to do that, you need to know what those options are.

Yet all too often, victims of auto fraud feel like they are all alone after being hung out to dry by a dealer they once trusted.

But the fact of the matter is this:

Anyone can get defrauded.  You aren’t a fool or a dope.  Though you might not know it, auto dealer fraud is surprisingly common.

Unfortunately, outside of auto mechanics and enthusiasts, most Americans don’t really know enough about cars to make a truly informed buying decision.

This means that auto merchants often play the role of educators as well.  The conflict of interest is obvious.  Still, this is the system we have.

Many dealerships adhere to the rules and do things the right way.  But, (as you’ll know if you’ve been a victim) some don’t hold themselves to ethical codes of conduct or fair sales processes.

Buyers need to do their own research and take the time to understand their situation.

What You Need to Know About Auto Dealer Fraud

There are a variety of ways for shady dealers to separate you from your money.

You may have heard of the “bait and switch” or yo-yo financing.  Or perhaps you’ve been subject to deceptive advertising and spot deliver.

Then there is always simple dishonesty like failure to disclose prior damage, salvage title, or a vehicle’s true mileage.  Unscrupulous salespeople and dealerships may try to deceive about anything from add-ons to the warranty on the car.

Whatever your case, the main thing you need to do is educate yourself about your rights.

Automobile Buyer’s Rights in Texas

San Antonio auto dealer fraud victims have laws at various levels designed to protect them.

While you should always try your best to make smart car buying decisions, it’s easy to choose the wrong car, salesperson, or dealership.  If you’ve been duped, it’s important to make sure you follow the right steps in order to successfully recover damages.

While Texas doesn’t yet have its own Car Buyer’s Bill of Rights, Texans aren’t left out to dry on this issue by any means.

Like most states, we have our own Lemon Law—protecting drivers against vehicles that develop major issues shortly after purchase or with little use.  And even if you have a more serious issue, justice is likely still in the cards, as long as you follow the correct procedures.

Alamo City isn’t immune to this problem.  But we don’t take it lightly either.  There has been more than one case of auto dealer fraud in San Antonio that resulted in prison time for a dealer over the last few years.

And in some instances, these cases can even turn into class-action lawsuits.  If you’re going to defraud one buyer, why not defraud them all?  Right?

5 Tips for Personal Injury Attorneys Opening a Mass Tort Practice

Attorneys nationwide are joining the trend to add mass tort claims to their personal injury practice. Based on conservative estimates, two to four million people per year are seriously or fatally injured in mass tort cases.

Most mass tort cases are product liability cases against pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Other types involve airplane crashes, train wrecks, hotel fires, asbestos, patent, antitrust price fixing, data security breaches, securities fraud and employment claims.

It is the only practice in which economies of scale exist. These cases are national and involve filing same primary claim over and over for multiple plaintiffs. The math is compelling: in the right situation it can cost $1,500 to acquire a client with a case that will settle for $300,000, according to John Ray, senior consultant for Mass Tort Nexus and a former pharmaceutical executive. See Top 5 mass tort Cases for Plaintiff Lawyers Right Now.

“It is a multi-billion dollar immature market, with economies of scale and only a single barrier to entry. You have already overcome the barrier, if you hold a bar card,” Ray said.

The best strategy is to find a mass torts case with strong liability, many plaintiffs, a financially viable defendant, high settlement values and a reasonable cost to acquire a client. Here are five tips:

1. Timing.

There are several optimal moments to seek mass tort clients:

• In the emerging phase, when many attorneys are advertising about a particular mass tort. Most patients do not connect their prescription with an adverse event. The highest consumer awareness exists when advertising is at its peak. Currently this includes IVC Filters, Bair Hugger blankets, Invokana, Xarelto, Pradaxa, Transvaginal Mesh, Morcellator, talcum powder, Zofran and Metal-on-metal hips, according to Steve Nober, CEO of the Consumer Attorney Marketing Group.

• MDL phase. When the federal courts create a multi-district litigation docket (MDL) for the mass tort. There are 300 federal MDLs, which organize hundreds of cases and promote settlements with trials of bellwether cases. Courts will create a form complaint and plaintiff’s fact sheet, which can be found on Mass Tort Nexus. The MDL plaintiffs committee works on all the scheduling, motions and trials.

• In the settlement phase, when the defendant announces to its stockholders that it has set aside a settlement fund. At this point, attorneys are signing clients to settle their cases.
