Understanding the real reason lawsuits happen

If you are like most people, you probably think that people file lawsuits because they have been wronged and they are seeking to become whole. In my experience, people most often file suits because they are angry. They may feel like they were misled or even outright lied to. In some cases, they may be right. Sellers in particular often are not as straightforward as they should be.

The fact remains that, in almost every case I have seen, the buyer clearly failed to do their due diligence. Buyers have a responsibility to read the report, ask questions, tell the inspector of any special concerns and understand the inherent limitations of any home inspection.
