Contractual liability: everything you need to know about your rights and obligations

Liane FoeLawyer

What is contractual liability?

Contractual liability arises when a party fails to perform its obligations under a contract. This can result in damages, for which the injured party can seek compensation. Consider situations where agreements are not fulfilled in business agreements, leases or delivery arrangements.

At Letselschade Advocaat Amsterdam, we have extensive experience representing your interests in contractual disputes. We help you not only claim damages, but also avoid legal pitfalls.

Examples of contractual liability

1. Employer-Employee Contracts
   An employer may be liable if it fails to fulfill its duty of care. Consider situations where a safe working environment is not provided, which can lead to workplace accidents.
2. Damage due to faulty service
   If a supplier does not deliver as agreed and this leads to damage, he can be held liable. For example: a contractor delivers poor work causing damage to your home.
3. Lease and purchase agreements
   In leases, the landlord has an obligation to provide a safe and usable space. If a tenant is injured due to overdue maintenance, the landlord can be held liable.

How can you claim damages for breach of contract?

1. Collect evidence
   It is important to keep all relevant documents, such as emails, contracts and written agreements.
2. Determining damages
   To claim compensation, you must be able to prove that you have suffered damages. Consider medical expenses, loss of income or other financial consequences.
