Frequently Asked Questions
If you are unable to agree with the insurance company or other driver regarding property damage, and you do not have collision coverage, you can sue in small claims court. Small claims courts are designed to handle cases where the amount of the dispute is $7,500 or less. There are small claims courts located throughout the Northern California area. However, if you were injured in the accident, you will have to make a claim for “both your injuries and the damages to your car.” You should always talk with an attorney before making this decision. If you file in small claims court on the property damage claim, you may later be prevented from pursuing your claim for personal injuries in a separate lawsuit.
