To be actionable, negligent misrepresentation should result in actual damages. Therefore, an action for negligent misrepresentation requires that an allegedly defrauded party incur some pecuniary or other loss as a precondition to a finding of liability. A West Palm Beach negligent misrepresentation lawyer will advise a plaintiff that to succeed in a claim for negligent misrepresentation the plaintiff must allege and prove that he or she suffered loss resulting in pecuniary damages. The defendant's liability is limited to loss suffered:

• By the person or one of a limited group of persons for whose benefit and guidance the defendant intends to supply the information or knows that the recipient intends to supply it; and
  
  Through reliance upon it in a transaction that the defendant intends the information to influence or knows that the recipient so intends or in a substantially similar transaction.
  
  

  Additionally, a claim for negligent misrepresentation must allege justifiable reliance, that is, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant's misrepresentation induced the plaintiff to justifiably rely on the misrepresentation, which resulted in the plaintiff acting in justifiable reliance to his or her detriment. Therefore, to succeed in an action for negligent representation, a West Palm Beach negligent misrepresentation lawyer should plead the claim and its elements with specificity.
