Question

If you sue for $200.00 in the Civil Court, Small Claims Part, tell me what choices you would make and the benefits or detriments(harm) that would result and why?

Answer 1

Few are the options or choices; I need to consider in case of sue, these are as stated below:

• Over small things, court proceeding could go much costly affair, further; it will take long time to solve the issues. Hence, I need to understand the clear issues and how much money I can recover from such sue case. Is that money more than cost of court proceeding?
• Suing anyone requires taking help from attorney and I should clearly file the case that will prove further that other person must pay for my damages.
• Another choice that I can chose here, I can tell other person to pay the small amount like $200 voluntarily for the damage caused. For court filing, that person would be responsible for paying that severance cost plus entire court proceeding cost.
• I can follow choices like sending letter of demand, building negotiation process, or establishing mediation process or I should have kept insurance that can cover the damage amount.

Now let me share the benefits or detriments (harm) that could be resulted in this case and why:

• Here, benefits like I can enforce the contract, in case, if I find that any way contract or related law is broken by another person, suing could help me to build respect towards the law and contract.
• I can recover the damages, however, I should understand the reasons for which I am suing a person that should be correct or appropriate. Otherwise, it may take my cost more and bring no benefits.
• Court proceeding could be time consuming and it would include more cost. I should take advice that whether I will be getting appropriate amount and that somehow bringing me benefited or not.
• Some damage could have long future aspect and detrimental effects, I should also consider in a situation that will recover my damage in much effective way.
