“Actual Damages” Under the EFTA Include Emotional Distress
The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) empowers consumers to recover “actual damages” for violations of its provisions. Because “actual damages” isn’t limited by statute to just economic loss, courts have recognized that non-economic harms like emotional distress may be compensable. Learn how this interpretation strengthens consumer rights and what it could mean for your case with Consumer Attorneys.
