Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Re: Small Claims questions

The statute of limitations applies to the type of

claim that is being made, not to the court in which

the claim is filed. For example, a claim for personal

injuries must be brought within one year of suffering

the injuries (usually)regardless of whether the suit is

filed in small claims court or superior court.

The forms for small claims court are usually available

at the clerk's office of your local courthouse.

Some counties may have downloadable forms on the web,

so check your county's web site.
