When is Business Litigation Necessary?
While negotiation is often the preferred method for resolving business disputes, there are instances where escalation is required to reach a resolution. When communication breaks down between the involved parties and other alternative dispute resolution strategies prove ineffective, our attorneys may advise pursuing litigation. In common business disputes, litigation may be necessary in the following scenarios:
- Breach of Contract: When one or more parties fail to fulfill their contractual obligations, you may have legal grounds to seek damages. Breach-of-contract dispute is the most prevalent form of business litigation.
- Non-Compete Disputes: In cases where an employee violates a non-compete agreement by working for a competitor before the specified period ends, legal action to secure monetary compensation may be recommended.
- Insurance Coverage Disputes: Disputes regarding insurance coverage may arise when an insurer denies a claim. Conflicting interpretations, ambiguous language, exclusionary clauses, and other factors can all contribute to the need for litigation.
- Personal Injury or Product Liability Claims: In situations where your company manufactures products or employs drivers, accidents can lead to injuries. In such instances, a business litigation attorney can protect your rights before and during trial if necessary.
