Negligence is commonly defined as the failure to do what a reasonably prudent person would do under the same or similar circumstances. If a termite company fails to follow the industry standards as well as the label directions for the chemical used to treat your property, it has failed to do what a reasonably prudent termite company would have done and is guilty of negligence.
Fraud involves the representation of facts which are false as true with the intention that the person to whom the representations rely on them in taking or failing to take some type of action. Our investigation of the dealings between the termite company and its customer often establish fraud on the part of the termite company that may have taken various forms: Forging the home owner’s signature to annual reinspection reports; Hiding the existence of active infestations and damage in hopes the home owner will allow the contract to lapse or otherwise be terminated; Providing inaccurate inspections reports; Failing to apply pest control chemicals and/or failure to properly treat; Selling the home owner jacks to support their home when the weakness is actually damage from termites due to improper or inadequate treatment; and, Telling the homeowner that termite damage is uncovered water damage.
