Sounds like a win for plaintiff, but I am assuming that since costs were assessed against defendant on an order of dismissal, the court awarded costs to the prevailing party.

What if the defendant is in a different state Can you file a small claims case then?

You can file a small claims case against anyone, anywhere. Out of state Defendants are normally served Summonses by the deputy sheriff or constable in their home state. If they fail to appear in the court designated on the Summons, a default judgment can be entered against him. The difficulty in this type of situation is that the service of the Summons will cost more and a judgment is more difficult to collect on. If a judgment is won by the Plaintiff in a situation like this, he has to have the judgment "domesticated" in the Deft.'s state, then proceed on collecting on the Judgment according to that state's laws.


What do you do if a man knocks out four of your front teeth and the man leaves the country before the court case is onwho pays for your teeth?

You must still go to court and get the judgment issued against the defendent in their absence. The court will continue the attempt to contact the defendant. If that fails then the defendent will be in contempt of court and a warrant for arrest will be issued. The statue of limitations will be thrown out until that person returns to the state. The debt will referred to a credit agency and they will track that person. If the person enters the country again they may be arrested due to outstanding warrant. If you do not go to court, your case may be dismissed with prejudice ie. you can't come back and try again on this matter. This would leave your assailant free to return-which I suspect is what they are hoping happens.
