Vehicle Fraud

Vehicle Fraud Lawyer in New Jersey

If you were misled in a vehicle sale, you deserve answers—and options.

About Vehicle Fraud

What happens when you buy a car “as is,” but you find significant damages in the vehicle? What happens when you are a told is “in good condition” and “will pass inspection,” but then the vehicle will not pass inspection? What if you purchase a vehicle, but only afterwards you find out that there was a recall notice for a critical piece of equipment for it? Aaron Harmaty has worked on cases with these sorts of facts and more.

How We Can Help you

Aaron Harmaty’s practice involves assessing the underlying facts of your claim to determine whether your case can win at trial. We will look at what condition the car was in at the time of sale, and what specifically you were told about the vehicle. Based on that information, we will make a recommendation.

Common Scenarios

Vehicle fraud disputes can arise from hidden salvage history, undisclosed prior accidents, misleading warranties, or financing surprises. If the deal you received doesn’t match what was promised, it may be worth reviewing your options.

Your Rights

You may have rights under consumer protection laws, contract law, and potentially federal regulations depending on the conduct involved. The best path depends on the evidence and timeline.

What to Expect

These matters typically start with documents and a timeline. From there, we can evaluate whether negotiation, a formal demand, or litigation is the right next step.
