The Basics - Breach of Contract
A breach of contract claim is at the coreof nearly all business litigation, requiring proof of a valid contract, performance of your obligations, the defendant's failure to perform, and damages resulting from that breach. If someone fails to fulfill their contractual obligations, you may have a breach of contract claim. The Goetz Firm is here to help you navigate these complex legal waters.
The basic elements of a breach of contract claim include proving the existence of a valid contract, demonstrating that you performed your part, showing that the other party did not fulfill their obligations, and providing evidence of the damages you suffered as a result. This process requires a deep understanding of contract law, which The Goetz Firm provides with their experience in handling such disputes.
A valid contract requires an offer, mutual acceptance of terms, a meeting of the minds, communication of acceptance by both parties, and mutual intent to be legally bound. Proving these elements, especially in cases involving oral contracts or partial performance, can be challenging. The Goetz Firm can help you gather the necessary evidence, such as witness testimony or relevant documents, to strengthen your case.
Compensation for breach of contract claims is typically financial, aimed at placing you in the position you would have been in had the breach not occurred. This includes general damages for direct losses and special damages for foreseeable indirect losses. In some cases, equitable damages may be sought, requiring the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations.
