There are many potential options to resolve a breach of contract in San Diego. In some cases, Watkins Firm attorneys are able to negotiate a modification to the original agreement which allows the parties to complete their transaction while providing adequate compensation to the party who was the victim of the breach. In cases where it is not possible to complete the transaction and consummate the “benefit of the bargain,” a settlement agreement can be negotiated between the parties.
Mediation is a common strategy in many breach of contract cases. Mediation is a private, confidential venue where a neutral third party with experience and expertise in the matters at hand works between the parties to help them to find common ground and reach a settlement. Many contracts specify arbitration as an alternative to a trial when a dispute arises between the parties.
Both Parties in a Breach of Contract Have Important Legal and Financial Responsibilities
The party responsible for the breach can be legally be liable for the damages associated with the dispute. Damages are the sum total cost of finding another alternative to fulfill the original “benefit of the bargain” or, in essence, to get the victim of the breach to the point where they would be had the contract been successfully completed.
The party who did not breach the contract (usually the “plaintiff”) has a serious legal and financial obligation to “mitigate the damages.” The plaintiff must take reasonable, prudent and timely actions to limit the impact of the breach and resulting damages. The failure to mitigate the damages provides a valuable defense for the defendants in these cases.
