Conclusion: Going to small claims court may be worth it for $500, but it will determine how you weigh your costs versus benefits. At a minimum, it is worth it to send a demand letter.
A small claims case starts by filing a claim with the Pennsylvania Magisterial District Court. You'll serve a copy of the claim and court date on the "defendant," the person or company you're suing. At the trial, you'll present evidence supporting your case.
In Pennsylvania, a lawsuit involving a claim of $12,000.00 or less can be filed in Magisterial District Court. For claims over $12,000.00, the party filing the lawsuit, who is known as the plaintiff, must file in the Court of Common Pleas.
