Let’s take a quick look at the primary components of breach of contract lawsuits anyone without a law degree can understand.

The Basics of Breach of Contract Lawsuits

A breach of contract lawsuit happens when other parties fail to fulfill their contractual obligations. The purpose of filing such a lawsuit is to obtain legal restitution to cover the financial losses stemming from another party failing to fulfill its contractual obligations. 

Though it’s easier to litigate when the contract is written and signed by both parties, there’s also a chance of success with a verbal agreement not upheld by another party. If the other party fails to uphold its contractual promise in terms of obligations or fulfilling obligations in a specific period, taking legal action can lead to a sizable settlement or a court award.
