Adkins Law Firm experience in handling large amounts of claims for our commercial construction and equipment clients as well as recovering from engineers and architects for defective plans resulting in construction defects and business losses. While terms such as “lost profits,” and “benefit-of-the-bargain” are frequently used, it is not always clear what is included in these damages. Further, the landscape of what is recoverable is constantly evolving such as construction and commercial litigation.
Over the years we have observed that initially many clients, and on occasion, even courts struggle with the appropriate standards of recoverable damages in commercial litigation cases. Depending on the cause of action, the type of property damaged or lost and the relationship between the parties involved, both the standards and amounts recoverable can be easily misinterpreted, which is why it is necessary to have an experienced business litigation attorney to assist in applying the correct method of calculating damages.
Damages sought typically differ, for instance depending on the causes of action claimed. which may be different for (1) Breach of Contract; (2) Covenants Not to Compete, (3) Usery, (4) Common Law Fraud; (5) Statutory Fraud; (6) Constructive Fraud; (7) Tortious Interference with Existing Contract; (8) Breach of Fiduciary Duty; (9) Business Disparagement; (10) Civil Conspiracy; and (11) RICO, among others.
