Legal Question in Business Law in Missouri

selling a salvage car without telling the buyer that it had an accident

i bought a car in the begining of 2004 in St Louis, missouri from a person and he never told us that it has been in an accident or it is a salvage car. and this year i went and switch the car to an Illinois license and when i went there they told me that the car is a salvage one and i need so many other inspection for it before i get my title. so i would like to know what can i do now? can i sue this person who sold me this car for an expensive amount of money and it is not even worth half of it? or is there any way that i can do so i can get it back to him. i will really appreciate if someone can help me here ,

thanks alot to all.

Re: selling a salvage car without telling the buyer that it had an accident

Selling a car like this, as a business entity, is a violation of Chapter 407 of the Missouri Statutes. You need to seek out an attorney who handles these kinds of lawsuits. There are a number of law firms who handle these kinds of lawsuits. If you would like a referral, please feel free to contact me.
