FAQ
The aim of a damages undertaking is to compensate any party that is harmed by an unfair injunction. For example, you could seek an injunction to stop a competing business from selling a certain product in Australia. That injunction is granted, but then overturned a year later when you lose the court case.
The purpose of an injunction is to prevent a party from committing an act or to compel them to perform an act, in order to rectify a wrong or prevent further harm. Injunctions are equitable remedies, meaning they are discretionary and are granted when monetary compensation (damages) is not an adequate remedy.
Examples of compensatory damages include: Medical bills. Lost wages. Loss of enjoyment of life. Pain and suffering.
For example, if there is a breach of contract , the court can grant an injunctive relief that the breaching party fulfills their part of the contract regardless of the issue at hand.
Adequacy of Damages This question is first considered from the Claimant's point of view. It is commonly found in business protection cases that damages will not be an adequate remedy. Firstly it is often impossible or extremely difficult to quantify loss in such cases.
Compensatory damages are awarded in civil court cases where loss has occurred as a result of the negligence or unlawful conduct of another party. To receive compensatory damages, the plaintiff has to prove that a loss occurred and that it was attributable to the defendant.
Let's embark on a journey through the four main types of damages: compensatory, punitive, nominal, and liquidated damages. Each serves a unique purpose and plays a distinct role in legal proceedings.
Injunctive relief is a court-ordered remedy that compels or prevents specific actions when monetary damages are inadequate and irreparable harm is likely. It includes temporary and permanent injunctions, which aim to maintain the status quo or provide long-term protection after a legal decision.
In most personal injury cases, there are no caps on economic or non-economic damages. This means you can seek full compensation for both measurable financial losses (like medical bills and lost wages) and more subjective losses (like pain and suffering).
Unlike some other states, Georgia has no cap on pain and suffering damages. A potential award could be a few thousand dollars or six figures for catastrophic injury cases. If you want to know more about the value of your case, contact an experienced Atlanta, Georgia personal injury lawyer at MG Law.
