A legal claim refers to a demand or assertion by one party (plaintiff) that another party (defendant) owes them a legal obligation or has caused them harm, and seeks a remedy for the harm caused. In the context of business and commerce, claims can arise from contractual disputes, intellectual property infringements, personal injury, and other areas. Claims can lead to legal proceedings, such as arbitration or litigation, and can result in damages, injunctions, or other forms of relief for the party making the claim.

In legal terminology, a claim is often defined as a cause of action, which is the legal basis for a party to bring a lawsuit against another party. Claims can also refer to claims for payment, such as insurance claims or claims made against a bankruptcy estate.

It is important for businesses to be aware of potential claims that may arise in their operations and take steps to mitigate the risk of such claims. This may include having proper contracts in place, conducting due diligence, and obtaining appropriate insurance coverage.
