Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amir can claim consequential damages for a breach of warranty resulting in injury to the property. In certain situations, an injured buyer is able to recover consequential damages, such as the buyer's lost profits caused by the seller's breach of contract. The buyer must be able to show that the seller knew or should have known at the time the contract was made that the buyer would suffer special damages if the seller did not perform his obligations. Consequential damages can also include an injury to a person or property caused by a breach of warranty.
