In California, if your dispute involves $7,500 or less, you can file the claim in small claims court. Filing a complaint in small claims court in California can be a fast and easy way to resolve a legal dispute. If your dispute involves a request for damages over $7,500, you must file the claim in Superior Court. While you can be reimbursed for your filing expenses if you win your case, a judge will usually not award travel expenses. However, a judge has wide discretion in awarding damages, and a judge may award travel expenses in unique situations. Contact an attorney in your area or the small claims court in your county to discuss the particular facts of your case.
