Which category of legal remedies includes compensatory, consequential, and liquidated damages?

The category of legal remedies that includes compensatory, consequential, and liquidated damages is recognized as compensatory remedies. These remedies are primarily concerned with providing financial compensation to the injured party for the losses they have suffered due to the wrongful conduct of another party.

Compensatory damages are intended to restore the injured party to the position they would have been in had the injury not occurred. Consequential damages cover indirect losses that result from the initial injury, provided they are foreseeable. Liquidated damages are those specified in a contract that parties agree upon as a reasonable estimate of potential damages in case of a breach.

In this context, the term “Georgia Legal Remedies” may mislead because while Georgia follows the same principles regarding damages, the specific categorization of remedies into compensatory and punitive forms encompasses broader legal concepts. The other categories of remedies (punitive measures, adequate remedies, and specific remedies) do not collectively address the full spectrum of compensatory, consequential, and liquidated damages. Instead, they focus on different aspects of remedy types or legal principles outside of direct financial compensation for losses incurred.
