Question

Suppose that Jeremiah was unfairly terminated before his employment contract expired, and he had to spend $500 to find another job. His job search expenditures would be considered _____ damages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Incidental damages

Explanation:

In a situation where an employer doesn't fulfill a contract agreement with an employee, just like in the question above, where Jeremiah was unfairly terminated before his employment contract expired, he has the right to collect "damages" which is legal compensation for financial losses caused by the termination of his employment contract before it expired. Incidental damage is the answer because Jeremiah incurred expenses where he had to spend $500 to find another job as a result of the employer's breach of the contract.
