Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Tennessee
fraudulent business practice vs. arbitration
i bought a used 1998 camaro(23,000 miles)at a
large dealership in montgomery,al.there was no
disclosure notice on the vehicle.the vehicle listed for $23,000.00.two weeks later i find out
that the vehicle has been wrecked and that the
damages were nearly $14,000.00.we were told by two different employees that the vehicle had never been wrecked.we also found out that the vehicle had been fixed by their own body shop.during the process we signed an arbitration agreement.lawyers in this state that we have contacted tell us that it will be difficult to overcome this binding arbitration agreement.can the arbitration be overcome?if yes,how do we go about doing it?

Re: fraudulent business practice vs. arbitration
I believe the advice you have received from
other attorneys is correct - the arbitration
agreement signed by you will be binding.
