A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform a material obligation under the contract, such as missing a delivery date or failing to provide promised services. The breach must be tied to the contract and cause a loss. The seriousness of the breach helps determine available remedies and next steps.
In California, written contracts typically have a four-year statute of limitations, while oral contracts have a two-year period. Tolling and other facts can affect these timelines, so early legal review is important.
Remedies can include monetary damages, restitution, and, in some cases, specific performance or injunctive relief. Availability depends on the contract terms and governing law.
Many disputes resolve through negotiation or mediation before filing suit. A lawyer can help you evaluate settlement terms, enforceable agreements, and when litigation is appropriate.
