What are Liquidated Damages and When Do They Apply?

In the event that one party is in breach of contract, liquidated damages define an amount of compensation that will be owed to the opposing party. Physician employers typically define liquidated damages for contract breaches where an exact damage amount could, in theory, be difficult to calculate—for example, if a physician leaves a job without giving the proper notice or violates a non-compete agreement.

Attorneys Kyle Claussen and Brady Glissendorf discuss how liquidated damages could affect physicians and whether such contract terms should be negotiated.
