There are two general categories of damages that may be awarded if a breach of contract claim is proved. 1. Compensatory Damages. Compensatory damages (also called âactual damagesâ) cover the loss the nonbreaching party incurred as a result of the breach of contract.
The type of breach governs the extent of damages that may be recovered. If the breach is a total breach, a plaintiff can recover damages in an amount equal to the sum or value the plaintiff would have received had the contract been fully performed by the defendant, including lost profits.
