Default Re: How can I take someone to small claims court?

Before taking someone to small claims court, determine the value of the argued amount.

To take someone to small claims court, first you must visit your county courthouse and ask for the paperwork that litigants need to file.

This paperwork will give you all of the information you need about how to fill out the paperwork and how to get your claim processed by the court system.

Are there time limits in which a small claims court case must be filed?

Yes. States establish rules called "statutes of limitations" that dictate how long you may wait to initiate a lawsuit after the event giving rise to the lawsuit occurs. Statutes of limitations rules apply to all courts, including small claims. For more information about time limits for lawsuits.

For various statutes of limitations in your state, see ...
