If someone breaches a contract that you have signed, the first step is to contact an experienced attorney who can review your specific situation and provide advice on what options are available. Generally speaking, when a party breaches a contract, you may be entitled to “damages” or compensation for any losses suffered as a result of the breach. Damages may include actual economic damages suffered (such as lost profits), but could also include emotional distress or other types of non-economic damages in some cases. In addition to seeking monetary damages, you might also be able to obtain an injunction from the court which would require the breaching party to take certain actions in order to remedy their breach (for example if they failed to deliver goods per their agreement).
Depending on where your dispute is located and jurisdiction laws governing contracts, it is possible for either party involved in contractual disputes seek mediation or arbitration before engaging in litigation. Mediation is generally not binding while arbitration typically results with decisions that are legally binding unless appealed by one side within statutory time periods set forth by applicable law. Either way both parties should become familiar with rules applicable state law concerning dispute resolution prior taking legal action against each other including potential penalties such as punitive damages and attorneys fees being awarded against one or both parties depending upon circumstances surrounding particular case .
Ultimately, it will depend on the facts of each particular case whether pursuing litigation or alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation/arbitration will be more beneficial for claiming any rights under breached contract. In summary, if someone breaches a contract that you have signed then seek consultation from qualified attorney whose experience dealing with similar issues can help guide best course of action protect your interests at hand
