Fellerman & Ciarimboli deals with many commercial litigation cases. Some of the most complex among them are breach of contract lawsuits. Our breach of contract lawyers serves many Pennsylvanians who have trouble related to another party’s failure to carry out the terms of a contract.
A breach of contract is a failure to fulfill the duties under the contract terms. A contract can be breached in the following ways:
Generally, both written and oral (spoken) contracts are legally enforceable; however, there are certain contracts that must be in writing to be deemed legally enforceable. The best way to protect your rights when contracting with another is to either: memorialize the parties’ respective understandings in writing; or contact a lawyer to have a formal contract prepared.
When one party breaches a contract, the party who has performed his or her obligations under the contract has the right to pursue various remedies for the other party’s breach including monetary damages and/or equitable relief.
One of the most common questions with respect to available remedies in a breach of contract action is whether or not the non-breaching party is entitled to monetary damages. The simple answer is yes. In many situations, the breaching party will be required to compensate the non-breaching party for losses and other expenses connected with the breach in one or more of the following ways:
In some breach of contract claims, monetary damages are simply not appropriate, or may not be allowed under law. In such cases, the court may order an “equitable remedy” which generally requires the breaching party to take certain actions consistent with the agreed upon terms of the contract or otherwise resolve the dispute. Common equitable remedies include:
Every state provides for a period of time within which a claim must be made, commonly referred to as a statute of limitations. If you wish to pursue a breach of contract claim and do not file within this specified time frame, you cannot file a lawsuit. Contract law can be complicated, and filing procedures and deadlines for breach of contract claims can be confusing.

“I was in a bad accident and I had my daughter in the car with me. I highly recommend this firm.”
I was in a bad accident and I had my daughter in the car with me. I highly recommend this firm. My attorney Myer Messinger was very compassionate and offered empathy with helping me and my daughter with the mental agony we experienced after the accident. Mr Messinger is very professional and knowledgeable. We sat for hours for the mediation and he fought to get me the best settlement
