Small Claims FAQs

Do I have a good small claims case?
To determine the strength of your case and whether you should file a small claim, consider two important questions: Can I prove my case? And do I have a valid legal claim?

The strength of your case relies heavily on your ability to explain why the defendant owes you the specific amount of damages you have stated.

As for your claim’s legal validity, 99% of all small claims court cases fall into the following legal claim categories:

  • Breach of contract
  • Bad debt
  • Intentional harm
  • Personal injury
  • Product liability
  • Failure to return a security deposit
  • Professional malpractice
  • Public or private nuisance
