  • Consumer claims. Did you purchase a defective product or receive unsatisfactory service? You might be able to sue the company for a refund or repair.
  • Debt collection. Is someone refusing to pay you back a loan? Small claims court can help you recover the owed amount.
  • Landlord-tenant cases. Do you have issues with unpaid rent? Are you in disagreement on who should cover repair costs? You can handle this dispute in small claims court. 
  • Mechanic’s liens. Are there issues with unpaid labor or issues with the services rendered?

  • Personal injury matters. Have you been injured due to someone’s reckless or negligent actions? 
  • Property damage. Did a neighbor's tree damage your fence in a storm? You can sue for the cost of repairs or replacement.
  • Security deposit disputes. Is your landlord is withholding your security deposit without justification? Small claims court can help you get it back.
  • Small business disputes. Do you have issues with your vendors or business partners? 

Can You Still Go to Small Claims Court If Your Damages Exceed $8,000?

Yes, you can request that your case go to a small claims court even if your claims exceed the limit. However, you will need to agree that you will receive no more than the damages cap of $8,000.

You cannot simply file a small claim whenever you want. Florida law imposes a time limit on filing that can vary on your case specifics. Under Florida Statutes Chapter 95.11, claimants have between one and five years. For instance, while contract dispute issues can be brought forward within five years, claimants must bring professional malpractice claims forward within two years. 

Can an Attorney Represent You in a Florida Small Claims Case? 

Yes. While you are not required to obtain representation, you can (and should) have an attorney represent you. Ultimately, an attorney can significantly increase your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome and protect your rights throughout the small claims process.

While small claims court is designed to be accessible to individuals without legal backgrounds, there are significant advantages to having an attorney represent you.
