What Kind of Damages Can You Recover?

If another party has breached a contract, you may be entitled to compensation. The type of damages you can recover depends on the specifics of your case, but they generally fall into a few key categories:

• Compensatory Damages – These cover the actual financial loss caused by the breach, such as lost profits or additional costs you were forced to take on.
• Consequential Damages – If the breach caused financial harm, like losing a big client because a vendor didn’t deliver, you may be entitled to additional compensation.
• Liquidated Damages – Some contracts outline in advance how much a breach will cost. If yours includes a liquidated damages clause, that cost could be enforceable.
• Specific Performance – In some cases, instead of awarding money, a court may require the breaching party to actually follow through on their original obligations.

How Tempus Fugit Law Can Help

Recovering damages in a breach of contract case isn’t just about proving that the other party failed to uphold their end of the deal. You need to make a strong legal argument to get the best possible outcome. Here’s how we make that happen:

1. Breaking Down the Contract

Contracts can be complex and the fine print matters. We take the time to analyze every clause, identify where the breach occurred and determine the best legal strategy to pursue.

2. Building a Solid Case

Winning a breach of contract case comes down to evidence. We gather emails, invoices, financial records, witness testimony and more to prove both that the contract was breached as well as how much damage it caused.

3. Negotiating for the Best Possible Outcome

Going to court isn’t always the best option. Often, we can save you time, money and stress by negotiating a strong settlement outside of court. Whether through direct negotiation, mediation or arbitration, we fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

4. Taking It to Court If Necessary

If the other party won’t negotiate fairly, we’re ready to litigate. Our team has extensive courtroom experience, and we know how to present a compelling case.

5. Helping You Avoid Future Breaches

One of the best ways to protect your business is by having strong contracts. Our attorneys can help you create clear, enforceable agreements that reduce the risk of disputes going forward.
