Deceptive Trade Practices

Cabaniss Smith Toole & Wiggins, PL, has represented countless liability insurers and self-insured corporations in commercial litigation involving allegations of deceptive or unfair trade practices. In certain markets, these claims pose problems and risks similar to those encountered in more conventional mass tort litigation. We believe those situations can often benefit from similarly coordinated litigation strategies.

Our team of lawyers offers complete defense in business tort litigation, ranging from breach of warranty to false advertising claims. We can defend allegations such as the following:

• Inflated or deceptive marketing claims involving weight loss systems, diet drugs or hair restoration products
• Unfair trade practices in marketing or distribution channels
• Disputes between franchisors and franchisees
• Misrepresentation of ingredients, quality or "organic" nature of food or cosmetic products
• Credit and mortgage practices such as predatory lending, mortgage flipping, or excessive interest or fees
• Disputes between manufacturers and dealerships
