Small claims court is worth it when you know you are deterring someone from potentially harming others the same way they harmed you. You may also want to help others determine whether to do business with that person or corporation in the future, as court decisions are part of the public record.
If an attorney does not represent you, you must come to the court's First Filing office on the 10th floor of 1339 Chestnut Street. Only the parties who entered into a contract or the person who suffered a personal injury or property damage normally have the right to bring an action.
Damages are limited to $8,000 – $12,000 and this amount varies from County to County. You cannot file a claim in Philadelphia Small Claims Court if you claim damages exceeding $12,000.
Civil Service Regulation 32 Regulation 32 provides benefits to all full-time Philadelphia Civil Service employees who have become disabled because of an injury that occurred while performing the duties of their job and have opted not to receive Workers' Compensation benefits.
