Re: car accident

I suppose what you're asking is, suppose you filed a small claims action and no one attended the trial. In that situation, the court would dismiss the case without prejudice. You would be able to refile the case after paying a new fee, have the defendant served, and show up for trial -- assuming that two years from the accident have not yet passed. Good luck.
