Agreements are the foundation of successful business dealings. While handshakes can seal a deal, the follow-up contract makes the agreement official. However, if a party fails to honor their obligations, you will want to speak with an Ohio breach of contract attorney right away.
The Bensinger Law team handles all types of contract law across the state of Ohio. This area of the law is rather complex and employs specialized terminology—every word in contract matters.

At Bensinger Legal Services, we are experienced breach of contract lawyers who have helped hundreds of Ohioans get their businesses back on track after disputes.

What Is Breach of Contract?
“Breach of contract” refers to the failure to fulfill or adhere to the terms of a legally binding agreement. At a basic level, a contract is an agreement where you and another party agree to exchange something of value according to specific terms. When one of the parties doesn’t follow through on the exchange as specified in the agreement, a breach might have occurred.
Whether you are a business owner or an individual, it is crucial to contact knowledgeable contract dispute lawyers in Ohio as soon as possible when a dispute arises. Furthermore, if you have suffered a financial loss due to another party’s failure to perform a service, provide goods, or pay for goods and services as specified in an agreement, you may be entitled to damages under the law. We can help you understand what you may be entitled to.
Statute of Limitations
You have only a limited time period to file your claim for a breach. In Ohio, the statute of limitations to file a lawsuit for a written contract is six years and four years for an oral contract. The clock begins to tick on the limitations period when the cause of action accrues, which typically means the date that the breach happens. Be sure to speak to a breach of contract law firm as soon as possible after a dispute occurs to ensure you file your lawsuit on time.
