Summary
In this trial, Jose Jimenez purchased a home from real estate agent Louis Teque and Capero Investment Group. Jimenez claims to have been unable to live in the house due to undisclosed fire damage in the attic and sues Teque and Capero, accusing them of intentionally concealing the damage before he finalized his purchase.
Attorneys for Jimenez argue that Teque and Capero Investment Group fraudulently omitted mention of the fire damage in disclosure forms, rather than providing Jimenez with forms directly from the seller.
Defendants Louis Teque and Capero claim that Jimenez understood that the property needed work, yet was satisfied with the overall condition of the house and did not request further inspections. Additionally, they propose that the supposed fire damage was due to faulty wiring and was never discovered by the sellers.
Outcome
Verdict for plaintiff.
Total damages: $606,852
Including $106,852 in compensatory damages and $500,000 in punitive damages.
