FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

How should I handle a breach of contract?

It can be frustrating when the other party fails to fulfill their contractual obligations, especially when you have acted in good faith. Ultimately, the decision of how to handle a contract dispute rests with you. In case of minor damages, it may be possible to resolve the issue through mutual agreement with the breaching party, and a lawsuit may not be necessary. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, seeking legal counsel may be necessary, particularly if the damages suffered are significant and the breaching party is uncooperative.

How long does a breach of contract claim take?

No two breach of contract cases are the same. In some instances, the parties can come to a quick out-of-court settlement in just a few weeks. However, if the case progresses through the legal system, it could take many months or even years. If the parties cannot agree with mediation or arbitration, there could be a trial. When any type of civil lawsuit goes to trial, it could take two years and even longer to resolve.

What is the Florida Statue of Limitations for breach of contract?

If someone wishes to file a lawsuit against another party for breaching a written contract in the state of Florida, they must do so within five years of the breach occurring. If the lawsuit is not filed within this time frame, the claim may be time-barred, meaning that the person can no longer seek legal action to enforce the terms of the contract or recover damages. It is important to note that the statute of limitations may vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case and the type of contract involved. Therefore, consulting with an experienced attorney to understand the applicable time limits is advisable to ensure that legal action is taken within the required timeframe.
