Available Remedies and Damages in Chicago Commercial Litigation
Vaziri Law LLC regularly collaborates with a respected network of valuation experts, financial professionals, and industry specialists to conduct comprehensive damages assessments on all Chicago cases. Depending on the circumstances, the following damages and remedies may be available:
- Compensatory or economic damages to recover actual financial losses resulting from the breach or tort (e.g. lost profits, royalties, loss of market value)
- Consequential and incidental damages for certain losses arising from an indirect but foreseeable result of the breach (e.g. loss of use, restitution, loss of goodwill)
- Liquidated damages or money damages paid in the event of a breach, provided that such damages are agreed to and stipulated in the contract
- Punitive damages to punish the defendant for acting in an illegal or egregious manner and to deter others from similar wrongdoing
- Attorney fees and costs are usually only recoverable if the agreement provides for them
- Rescission to cancel the contract and release both parties from further performance
- Reformation or a modification of the terms of a contract to reflect the original intent of the parties
- Specific performance requires the breaching party to perform its obligations under the contract when monetary compensation is not an option (e.g. delivering goods or services)
