On September 16, 1862, one day before the historic Battle of Antietam, Major General George B. McClellan lost his best opportunity to defeat General Lee's army in detail in Maryland. McClellan was slow to assemble his forces in and around the town of Sharpsburg, Maryland. McClellan was unaware that he substantially outnumbers Lee's army and postpones an attack on the Confederates. Instead he waits another day until his reserve forces joins his main army. Theoretically, if McClellan conducted an assault on September 16, the Battle of Antietam would have been a smashing Union victory.

What is General damages liability?
Damages are monetary sums awarded for injury, loss suffered, and/or damage to the claimant. They are usually 'restitutio in integrum' (compensatory in nature). The focus is on compensating the victim, not punishing the wrongdoer, this means that the damages awarded will be an indemnity and, as far as is possible with money, aim to place the claimant in a position they enjoyed before the accident. General damages are damages which the claimant need not necessarily prove, as the law presumes they will flow. They are usually unliquidated damages, namely damages with no tangible calculation. The most common type of general damage is compensation for pain, suffering and loss of amenities. General damages can also include 'future losses' which in most cases are speculative.
What are special damages?
Special damages are damages that are specific to the injury or wrong committed and are usually capable of calculating mathematically. Essentially, out-of-pocket expenses. These are different from "general damages", which also flow from the injury but are not calculable. If a person is in a car accident and has medical expenses, the special damages will be all the costs of treatment, loss of income or other dollar losses. If the person also has pain and suffering (If?) then general damages will be some amount of money the jury will award based on its own judgment and common sense to compensate the injured person.

Breaking a "no-compete" provision of a contract will subject the person breaking it to a lawsuit for damages under both a breach of contract action and the tort of interference with business opportunity action. Those damages would be reimbursement to the other party for all income it lost because of the violation of the no compete clause. Many no-compete contract provisions will also state other types of damages that could be recovered, such as forfeiting all income earned and paying attorneys' fees.
