Hawaii Consumer Rights Attorneys

When you decide to spend your hard-earned money on goods and services provided by a business, you should be able to trust that you will receive the results you expected and for which you paid. Unfortunately, too many consumers in the United States fall victim to predatory, abusive, or fraudulent business practices. If a business acts wrongfully and you suffer losses as a result, you have the legal right to hold that company liable for those losses. You should always consult with an experienced Hawaii consumer rights attorney as soon as possible to discuss a possible legal claim.

Common Examples of Consumer Fraud

Consumer fraud and other wrongful business practices may take many forms.

The following are some examples of common scenarios out of which a consumer rights case may arise:

• Sale of faulty, defective, or dangerous products
• Breaches of warranties
• Unjustified and/or undisclosed charges and fees
• False advertising, including misrepresenting the characteristics or quality of products or services
• Inadequate security that leads to data breaches of credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive financial or personal information
• Abusive credit reporting or debt collection practices
• Predatory or fraudulent lending
• Any other type of deceptive or unfair trade practice

Wrongful actions on the part of corporations may affect one single consumer or a group of thousands of consumers. Whether you are one plaintiff or involved in a class action lawsuit, you deserve to fully recover for any losses you suffered.
