Just some brief information on small claims court here in Florida. Some of my readers have asked me for information about the small claims court.
Question: What is the dollar limit that can be claimed in small claims court? In Florida the dollar limit is set at $5000.
Question: Where to sue? You must sue where the defendant resides or where the injury occurred or where a contract was broken.
Question: Who will serve the necessary papers? A police officer, a court appointed adult, or by certified mail with return receipt.
Question: When will be a trial date? In most cases within 60 days after a pretrial conference.
I hope I have answered some of your questions but you really should contact a local attorney if you are planning to bring a claim in the small claims court. They can give you much more information that you will need in planning your case. Most attorney have a first visit free policy and they can determine if your case has merit.
