What is Investment Fraud?
Investment fraud is a nasty business practice in which fraudsters give investors false investment opportunities in efforts to steal their money. Deceived by false information, the fraudsters will eventually convince the investor that the money they invested was lost. Basically, the end result of investment fraud is a massive loss of money for the investor and hopefully jail time for the fraudster.
How to Identify Investment Fraud
A potential investment fraud has certain signs you can look out for. If an offer sounds too good to be true — high returns on your money in a short period of time — beware. Many fraudsters will use email or phone to convince you to participate in their schemes. Sadly, most investment fraudsters target older people, particularly senior citizens who have sizeable savings accounts and the tendency to trust more easily.
Protecting Yourself
Investment fraudsters can be clever and might try to tempt and deceive you with aggressive marketing tools, deceptive infomercials and telemarketing. Invest your money directly with banks, and avoid shady internet deals unless you are adept at online transactions. Thousands of retirement-aged people fall victim to fraudulent investment schemes each year. An investment fraud attorney will work hard to earn back the savings their clients have lost.

How Do You Know Whether You Were the Victim of Investment Fraud?
Losing money on an investment does not necessarily mean fraud occurred. Investment fraud may be involved when someone obtains or controls an investor's money through material misrepresentations, concealed facts, unauthorized activity, fabricated account information, manipulation, conflicts of interest, or a scheme that was never a legitimate investment.
Read MoreCan You Recover Money Lost Through Investment Fraud?
You may be able to recover some or all of the money lost through investment fraud, but recovery is never guaranteed. Available options depend on who committed the fraud, whether a brokerage firm or adviser was involved, where the money went, whether assets remain, and whether the responsible parties are solvent.
Read MoreWho Can Be Held Liable for Investment Fraud?
Liability for investment fraud is not always limited to the person who made the sales pitch. Potentially responsible parties may include the promoter, broker, brokerage firm, investment adviser, advisory firm, issuer, company executives, supervisors, control persons, sellers, account custodians, and professionals or businesses that knowingly participated in the misconduct.

Top-Asked Questions
In Florida, you typically have four years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, this deadline (called the statute of limitations) can vary depending on the type of injury and circumstances. It's important to act quickly because evidence can disappear and witness memories fade. We recommend contacting an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
You may recover damages for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, scarring, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving gross negligence or intentional acts, you might also be eligible for punitive damages. The specific damages available depend on your injury and the circumstances of your case.
Most personal injury cases settle before trial. During settlement negotiations, we work with insurance companies to reach a fair agreement for your injuries and losses. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we're fully prepared to take your case to trial. We'll never pressure you to accept a settlement you're not comfortable with.
The value of your case depends on many factors: the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, permanent disability, pain and suffering, and the strength of liability evidence. We provide a thorough case evaluation during your consultation. Insurance companies often undervalue claims—that's why having an experienced attorney is crucial.
Florida uses "comparative negligence" rules. Even if you're partially at fault, you may still recover damages—reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're 20% at fault and damages are $100,000, you'd recover $80,000. However, if you're found to be more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover any damages.
