Potentially Recoverable Damages in Complex Business Litigation Cases
From contract breaches to fraud to intellectual property theft, complex business litigation can lead to significant financial losses and legal challenges that take your attention away from your company. In addition to getting compensation, fighting for your rights helps protect your business in the future. With the experience and informed guidance of our lawyers at Callahan & Blaine, your claim can weaken the case against you and give you the best chance of recovering compensation, which, depending on your unique circumstances, may include the following:
Compensatory Damages
These types of damages aim to make your business whole after a dispute, returning it to its previous financial position. Compensatory damages may include lost profits, damage to reputation, loss of future earnings, cost of replacing damaged goods, and legal fees. We consider every detail to ensure your compensation accurately reflects the full scope of your losses.
Reliance Damages
Reliance damages include money your company would have earned if not for the other party’s actions. For example, if you were relying on a contract being fulfilled, but the other party breached their terms or started a dispute, these damages would cover the cost acquired while relying on this contract instead of potentially lost profits.
Liquidated Damages
When dealing with breach of contract cases, you may receive liquidated damages if the other party is found to be in violation of their contract. These damages may cover events like leaked company secrets and missed deadlines and are often more challenging to calculate. Therefore, it is essential to have a lawyer’s help so you do not settle for unfair compensation.
