The correct answer is true.

Compensatory damages refers to an award of money that is compensated to the plaintiff for the economic loss, property damage or injury. It covers medical bills, loss of pay due to sick leaves, emotional distress, cost of repair, value of property destroyed etc. In a sale of good contract, the non-breaching party will get compensatory damage that is calculated by subtracting market price of goods at time of breach from contract price plus incidental costs.
