What to Know About Breach of Contract Claims in Florida

Contracts are at the basis of most modern business relationships. In Florida, both written contracts and oral contracts can be enforceable. The party that breaches a contract can be held legally liable for damages sustained by the non-breaching party. As explained by the Cornell Legal Information Institute, a breach of contract is the “violation of a contractual obligation.” In other words, it is a failure to perform up to the terms of the agreement. For the most part, breach of commercial agreements claims fall under state law. Here are four key things to know about Florida law:

A Valid Contract Must be Established: Florida courts will not enforce mere promises. A breach of contract claim requires demonstrating the existence of a legally valid contractual agreement. An offer, acceptance, and consideration by all parties is required.

The Bargained-for Intention of Parties Matter: In breach of contract disputes, Florida courts carefully reviewed the specific terms of the agreement. They are focused on upholding the bargained-for intention of the parties.

There are Some Defenses in Breach of Contract Claim: The party accused of breaching the agreement may have some civil legal defenses available. Some examples include violation of public policy, impossibility, commercial impracticability, and mutual mistake.

Breach of Contract Damages are Complex: For the most part, breach of contract damages are meant to be compensatory in nature. Courts award damages in order to put the non-breaching party in the position that they would have been, had not breach occurred. Non-breaching parties have a legal duty to mitigate (minimize) their damages after a breach.

“I highly recommend attorney Jesse Bernheim and his team for any readers' future needs. Mr. Bernheim handled my insurance claim in a timely manner, and both he and his team kept me informed throughout the entire process. Without his representation, my claim would have been denied and I would have had several out of pocket expenses. Not only was the claim settled, but it was settled for the amount needed for repairs. Thank you, Jesse. Hopefully I won’t need you in the future, but if I do, you're the first phone call made. You are a true professional.”

“I have known Lou Battista for years and have always respected his tenacity and nonstop drive in everything he did. When it came to a point where I needed representation, I immediately thought of Lou and asked him to represent me, as I was getting very little response for my claim. In short order, meaning 1 to 2 weeks, I had an immediate increased response for my claim on the order of 3 to 4 times what they had originally offered, after Lou had submitted a claim on my behalf. Without his immediate response and aggressive position, I most certainly would have walked away with much less or even nothing.”

“Attorney Eric Sachs and his team are very professional and amazing. I highly recommend Bernheim Kelley Batista, LLC as the best law firm you can think of. Their communication is awesome. They handled my case and kept me updated every step of the way. I'm super happy with my end results. Thank you all for the time and effort put into my case. If you need an Attorney, Eric Sachs is the best to handle your situations. Don’t wait or think twice, you are in good hands!”
