BREACH OF CONTRACT
Las Vegas Breach of Contract Attorneys
To understand whether there is a breach of contract, you first need to understand the contract's parameters. A contract is a legally binding agreement between two parties, obligating both parties to specific duties. Contracts can be verbal or in writing. When they are verbal, by their nature, they are difficult to define. When contracts are between sophisticated parties, the terms of the contract are primarily limited only by the parties' creativity. If one party does not uphold their side of the contract, a breach of that contract has occurred. Breach of contract is a civil cause of action that can be brought against another party. If a judge or jury finds against that party, they will be held liable for the damages caused by the breach.
Common Breaches
When someone does not live up to the terms of a contract, it can often feel personal to you and your family, like a broken promise. A hotel double-books your reservation. A contractor completes their work using low-grade material that fails and causes a serious accident. An employer or business partner does not give you the benefits they promised. Your business is contractually entitled to payment by a specific date, but the other party will not return your calls. These are all broken promises and typical examples of Breach of Contract.
Dishonest companies may breach an agreement simply because they believe you won't pursue litigation, essentially taking this course of action as a business strategy. Breach of contract can financially ruin entrepreneurs and homeowners alike. At Cohan PLLC, we’re here to help right these wrongs.
