- (a) **Suits at law or equity—** Unless otherwise limited as in section [3607](/usc/15/3607.md) or [3608](/usc/15/3608.md) of this title, any [person](/usc/15/3603.md?p=17) aggrieved by a violation of this chapter may sue at law or in equity.
- (b) **Recovery of actual damages—** In any action authorized by this section for a violation of section [3607](/usc/15/3607.md) or [3609](/usc/15/3609.md) of this title where actual damages have been suffered, such damages may be awarded or such other relief granted as deemed fair, just, and equitable.
- (c) **Contribution—** Every [person](/usc/15/3603.md?p=17) who becomes liable to make any payment under this section may recover contributions from any [person](/usc/15/3603.md?p=17) who if sued separately, would have been liable to make the same payment.
- (d) **Amounts recoverable; defendant’s attorneys’ fees—** The amounts recoverable under this section may include interest paid, reasonable attorneys’ fees, independent engineer and appraisers’ fees, and court costs.
