Limitation of Liability Clause — contractor abandoned project halfway

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

contractor abandoned project halfway. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 10 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $51,000.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
