Asked on Oct 02nd, 2024 on Litigation - Florida
More details to this question:
About 4-5 months ago I sent my laptop to get fixed, the first week or so this shop was communicating with me constantly witch I was happy, about a month passes by with no communication I started getting worried because my income relies on that computer since I’m a artist and a content creator. Is there a way that I can sue for at this point a lost compu and compensation for all the income lost due to not having the computer?

Not likely, as its your responsibility to "mitigate" collateral and consequential damages and most such damages are not recoverable in a general contract sense unless they were foreseeable. There are literally dozens of options available to allow you to maintain online content. Its also depends on whether there is a legitimate reason the laptop is not repaired such a delay with sourcing a part. That said, you should demand that they either fix the laptop, provide you a concrete reason why it has not been fixed and when it will be or that you simply take the laptop back and have it fixed elsewhere.
