Question

Sati contracts to work exclusively for Thermal Imaging Company during July for $5,000. On June 30, Thermal Imaging cancels the contract. Sati finds a similar job for the month of July but earns only $3,000. Sati files a suit against Thermal Imaging. As compensatory damages, Sati can recovera. $3,000b. $2,000 c. $1,000d. $0

Answer 1

Answer:

B) $2,000

Explanation:

Compensatory damages can be claimed by a plaintiff in order to compensate for incurred losses or injuries. The plaintiff must prove that he/she suffered damages due to the defendant's negligence or unlawful conduct.

In this case, Sati lost $2,000 (= $5,000 - $3,000) because Thermal Imaging didn't perform, so she can sue in a civil court to recover the $2,000.
