What is a Small Claim?
Money you’re owed
A small claim usually starts when someone owes you money and refuses to pay.
Everyday disputes
Small claims often come from everyday issues, unpaid work, broken agreements, or damaged property.
A legal path to recovery
If the amount is under your state’s limit, you can formally demand payment or take it to court.
