Incidental damages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Incidental Damages are a type of legal damages, (money claimed by, ordered to be paid to, a person as compensation for loss or injury), 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, (UCC Sec. 2-710) or a buyer's expenses reasonably incurred in caring for goods after a seller's breach. (UCC Sec. 2-715(1)).
