Consequential damages occur when the special circumstances of the plaintiff cause him or her to suffer losses that would not ordinarily be foreseeable as a result of the breach. Normally, such consequential damages are not recoverable unless the defendant had reason to foresee them at the time the contract was created. Generally, this means that the defendant must have known of the special circumstances that caused the loss.
