Whether through arbitration or a lawsuit, you have options to pursue the relief you deserve.

At Louis Law Group, we understand how distressing it can be when a warranty claim is denied. Our experienced consumer-protection attorneys are here to help guide you through this process and fight for your rights under Florida law. Let's explore what steps you can take next.

When Suing a Warranty Company Makes Sense

Suing a warranty company like GoPro Care Services is not always the first step, but it can be necessary when other options fail. Here are some scenarios where litigation might make sense:

• Your claim was denied without a valid reason. If GoPro Care Services denies your claim despite clear evidence of a covered defect or failure, you may have grounds for a lawsuit.
• The company is stalling or unresponsive. If the warranty provider is taking an unreasonable amount of time to process your claim or is not communicating with you, it could be a sign that they are trying to avoid paying out.
• You have suffered significant financial loss. If the denial or delay has caused you substantial harm, such as having to replace the product yourself, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses.

The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301) and Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (Fla. Stat. § 501.204) provide strong legal frameworks to support your case. These laws require warranty providers to honor their obligations and penalize them for unfair practices.

Arbitration Clauses and Your Right to Court in Florida

Many warranty contracts include arbitration clauses that require disputes to be resolved through a private arbitrator rather than the court system. However, it's important to know that many Florida-specific sections of these contracts make arbitration non-binding. This means that even if you go through arbitration, you generally retain the right to take your dispute to a Florida court afterward.

The enforceability of an arbitration clause depends on the exact language in your contract. It's worth having a legal professional review the document to determine whether the clause is binding or non-binding. If it is non-binding, you can still pursue your case in court if necessary.

What a Breach-of-Contract Claim Looks Like

A breach-of-contract claim against GoPro Care Services involves demonstrating that the company failed to fulfill its obligations under the warranty agreement. Here are the key elements of such a claim:

• The existence of a valid contract. You must show that you have a valid warranty or service contract with GoPro Care Services.
• Breach of the contract. You need to prove that GoPro Care Services failed to honor its obligations under the agreement, such as denying a valid claim or delaying payment.
• Damages suffered. You must demonstrate that you have suffered financial losses as a result of the breach. This can include the cost of repairing or replacing the product, any additional expenses incurred, and potential compensation for inconvenience.

In Florida, proving these elements can be complex, but with the right legal guidance, you can build a strong case. Our attorneys have extensive experience in handling breach-of-contract claims and can help you navigate this process effectively.

Damages You May Be Able to Recover

If you successfully sue GoPro Care Services, you may be entitled to recover various types of damages. These can include:

• Actual damages. This covers the direct financial losses you have incurred, such as the cost of repairing or replacing the defective product.
• Consequential damages. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to recover additional expenses that resulted from the breach, such as lost wages or travel costs.
• Punitive damages. In cases where GoPro Care Services acted with gross negligence or malicious intent, you may be eligible for punitive damages to punish the company and deter similar behavior in the future.

The amount of damages you can recover will depend on the specific facts of your case. Our attorneys can help you assess your potential recovery and build a strong claim to maximize your compensation.
