The filing fee varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. State lawmakers set the base filing fee; however, in most states, courts can add extra fees which are paid to local dispute resolution centers. Contact your local court for information on the small claims filing fee in your jurisdiction.

Should you file a claim with your car insurance?

That's always a balance between what happened and how much it will cost you versus how much your rates will increase. If it will be a large claim, then almost always you should file a claim. If it was small, then maybe not... but be sure to consider that even with small car accidents, there could be hidden damage, like the alignment being thrown off, etc. You might want to get your car checked out to be sure.


How can a person retrieve owed moneys for unpaid work done?

Depending on how much money this person owes you. If it is a small amount, i believe, up to $8,000 or so, you can file a claim in small claims court. If the amount is much more then you might have to hire an attorney and go from there. You win and you get your money, and they will have to pay the cost of everything. You will have to rise the amount this person owes you and add the court cost and attorney fee to the total cost.


How much time do you have to file a small claim?

Generally, there is no waiting period for filing a small claim. In fact, because of the statutes of limitation, your claim may be barred if it is not timely filed. However, some courts require (and I highly recommend) that before filing your small claim, you send a certified letter to the person who you are suing and demand the money you are claiming. Sending such a letter, and giving the other party a reasonable time to respond, will make you look better at trial.


Are all accidents and incidents reguardless of how minor are reportable?

No they are not. Many small incidents that will not cost much to repair are better off to pay for the damage your self rather than making a claim on your insurance that may raise your rates for up to three years. I have assisted customers on several occasions on just holding up on reporting the incidents while they find out what the cost will be before making the decision. You can also withdraw a claim if you find out that after your deductible it will not benefit you to file the claim.
