What action can a buyer take if injured by a violation of the Radon Awareness Act?

A buyer who is injured by a violation of the Radon Awareness Act has the right to bring a civil action for damages. This act was established to ensure that buyers are informed about radon levels in properties, as radon is a known health risk linked to lung cancer. If a seller fails to comply with the disclosure requirements mandated by the Radon Awareness Act, this can result in harm to the buyer, either through financial loss or health implications.

By choosing to pursue a civil action, the buyer can seek compensation for the damages sustained due to the violation. This legal recourse is designed to protect the rights of consumers and provide a means for them to recover losses when statutory obligations are not adhered to. Other options, like filing a complaint or requesting a government investigation, may not directly address the buyer's personal damages, while suing for breach of contract typically relates to a different scope of claim rather than specific violations of health and safety disclosure laws.
