Re: General Civil Litigation
Generally, No. A breach of fiduciary duty constitutes just that, a breach of fiduciary duty, which itself is a recognized cause of action under which you may be entitled to pursue and recover money damages. You may also have other causes of action such as (a) breach of contract, (b) unjust enrichment, (c) fraud in the inducement, and other viable claims that may be related to your breach of fiduaciary duty claim. Seek the advice of a civil litigation attorney. Good luck.
