A breach occurs when one party fails to perform as promised under a contract. The failure can relate to payment, delivery, or other essential obligations. In many cases, parties can pursue remedies without going to court by negotiating a settlement or using mediation. If a settlement cannot be reached, you may have grounds to file a claim seeking damages or performance.
California generally allows four years to file a written contract claim and shorter times for oral contracts. Deadlines can vary by contract type and circumstances, so it is important to consult with local counsel promptly to protect your rights.
Remedies commonly include monetary damages, specific performance, injunctions, and contract rescission. Depending on the case, you may also seek attorney’s fees or costs as allowed by law and contract terms.
Many contract disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation. Litigation is an option if other avenues fail or if a court order is needed to enforce terms.
