A breach occurs when one party fails to perform a material term of the contract without a valid excuse; this can lead to damages or other remedies. It is important to review the contract’s provisions on performance, timelines, and remedies to determine the best course of action.
In California, breach timelines depend on the contract terms and statutes of limitations. For written contracts, the typical limitation period is four years from the breach. Your attorney can help you assess deadlines and preserve claims.
Remedies can include damages, specific performance, and injunctive relief. The availability of each option depends on the contract terms, the nature of the breach, and what is feasible given the circumstances.
While not always required, having a lawyer helps ensure a claim is properly framed and deadlines are met. A lawyer can also guide you through settlement discussions or court proceedings.
Attorney fees in contract cases are often governed by the contract or statutes. Some agreements provide fee-shifting, and California’s rules about attorney fees may apply in certain disputes.
Evidence to gather includes the contract, communications, invoices, delivery receipts, performance records, and any correspondence about the breach.
Specific performance is a court order requiring a party to fulfill contractual duties when monetary damages are insufficient to compensate the harmed party.
Damages are typically calculated to place you in the position you would have been in had the breach not occurred, considering foreseeability and causation, and allowing for recoverable expenses and losses.
Bring the contract, related communications, invoices, records of performance, and a list of damages or losses you want to recover. Any documents showing the breach are helpful.
In California, breach of contract claims can be filed where the contract was formed, where the breach occurred, where the parties reside, or as otherwise permitted by law; consult with counsel about the proper venue.
