What kind of cases do small claims courts typically hear?
Small Claims Courts frequently hear disputes such as these:
(1) the laundry loses a customer's shirts but refuses to pay for them, or is willing to pay an amount that the customer thinks is inadequate;
(2) the landlord improperly refuses to return a tenant's security deposit;
(3) the driver who hit a parked car won't pay to repair the fender;
(4) the new luggage you bought breaks, and the store says "tough luck";
(5) the doctor charged $1,800, the health insurer says $650 is "reasonable and customary" and won't pay one cent more, and the doctor is "dunning" you;
(6) the kid next door hits a baseball through your window, her parents say its her responsibility, and at her $1.00 a week, it would take 10 years to collect.
