Incidental damages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Incidental damages refers to the type of legal damages that are reasonably associated with, or related to, actual damages.

In American commercial law, incidental damages are a seller's commercially reasonable expenses incurred in stopping delivery or in transporting and caring for goods after a buyer's breach of contract, (UCC Sec. 2-710) or a buyer's expenses reasonably incurred, e.g., searching for and obtaining substitute goods. (UCC Sec. 2-715(1)).
