Re: small claims court
Once there is a settlement reached between you and the defendant, that cuts off any and all claims that you may have against the defendant.
No. You can not settle and then turn around and sue them in small claims court.
ALso, what ever the settlement amount is, that amount encompases all of your damages. So whatever bills accrued during the litigation should have been figured into the settlement amount.
WHatever you received as a settlement is what you have to apply to those bills.
