Investors
There are inherent risks to investing and an investment can lead to losses for many reasons. However, when the reason for the loss is due to a brokerage firm's or financial professional's negligence, fraud, or other misconduct, you can take legal action against them to recover your investment losses.
Recovering securities or cryptocurrency investment losses is complex. Your adversary is generally a large firm with deep pockets and many attorneys. Working with an experienced securities attorney can level the playing field.
Some common legal claims for recovering losses include:
Misrepresentations and omissions;
Breach of fiduciary duty;
Churning accounts;
Failure to supervise;
Sales of complex investments, including variable annuities, leveraged ETFs and non-public REITs, and other private placements;
Margin account losses;
Ponzi schemes/ outright fraud;
Retirement planning negligence;
Theft;
Senior fraud/elder abuse claims;
Unauthorized trading;
Overconcentration of accounts;
Unsuitable investment recommendations and strategies;
Variable annuity fraud;
Violation of FINRA and SEC rules.
