We Help Victims of Termite Fraud in Alabama

You realized you had termite damage in your home, and you decided to do something about it.  You called what you thought was a reputable pest control company to take care of the problem.  Now, not only do you have continued termite damage, but the company may be saying it is not at  fault.

At times, a pest control operation is not only responsible for continued termite damage, but for fraud as well.  Buntin, Etheredge, & Dowling, LLC has spent the last fifteen years of its twenty-five year legal practice representing fraud victims in Alabama termite lawsuits.  Here, we discuss the various ways that a homeowner or business owner can be the target of fraud, and how we provide legal services to obtain the justice you deserve.

Termite law in Alabama

First, a pest control company can misrepresent its professional qualifications.  Termite laws in Alabama call for such a company to be licensed and certified.  If your company cannot supply the appropriate documentation to support its ability to work in the state, or possesses false documentation for this purpose, it can be held responsible for damage done to your home, and may even face criminal charges.

Second, inspection fraud is sadly becoming more common than ever before.  One of the ways in which this type of fraud can occur is when an inspector provides his own false evidence of an infestation.  This can be done by bringing in termite waste pellets or shed wings from outside, which are planted in the home by the inspector.  Unnecessary amounts of money are then spent by the owner of the building in attempt to eradicate pests that were never there in the first place.

Third, termite letter fraud can be committed, and may call for termite litigation in Alabama to seek redress for the building owner.  This letter is simply a written report indicating what, if any, insect problems were found in a particular structure.  If the letter contains false information of any kind, either stating that the damage found was more or less than the evidence suggested, it can end up costing the owner dearly.
