Tips for Filing a Claim on Breaches of Construction Contracts

The construction world is heavily dependent on contracts in order to ensure contractors are legally protected in the event of a potential loss. These contracts serve as agreements between the parties that are involved in a construction project, legally binding them to follow the guidelines accordingly. However, some people fail to hold up their end of the bargain, resulting in a breach of contract. If you are a victim of a breached contract, you have rights to sue the guilty party for damages sustained.

If the party with whom you had a contract with breaches his or her end of the agreement, you are entitled to monetary damages, which are calculated according to the specifics of your particular situation. The party that failed to uphold their side of the contract is often required to pay the difference between what has been completed thus far, and the project that was intended to be completed.

However, obtaining financial compensation isn’t always easy–the courts may accept your claim, but they may not agree with the financial damage amount, or even that financial compensation is suitable for the situation at hand. This is why it is essential you combat this complex situation with the help of a Marietta construction litigation lawyer you can trust, such as ours at Reed Leeper, P.C.
