So long as there isn't another court that is more specific to your lawsuit (for example, eviction court), then the lawsuit can be filed in small claims.

The most common types of small claims lawsuits in California are:

• Security Deposit. ​Your landlord did not return your security deposit.

• Rent. Your tenant or roommate didn't pay the rent.

• Loan. You loaned someone money, and they didn't pay you back.

• Car Accident. Someone hit your car while driving, and now you have to pay for the repair work.

• Mechanic. ​You hired a mechanic to repair your car, and they did a terrible job.

• Contractors. You hired a contractor to perform work at your home, and they did a terrible job.

• Neighbor. Your neighbor damaged your property.

• Contracts. You had a contract with someone, and they broke the contract.

• Damage to Property. Someone damaged your property (e.g. house, car, bicycle).

• Goods. You bought an item and didn't receive it, or you sold an item and didn't get paid for it.

• Insurance Companies. Your insurance company didn't pay you for a claim they should have paid you for.

• Services. You paid for a service and didn't receive it, or you provided a service and didn't get paid.
  

Here are some factors that go into whether you will win your small claims lawsuit:

1. Are you right on the law? Whether the law is on your side depends on the type of case you have and the laws that apply. If you have doubts about your case, you can add our optional add-on, where an independent attorney can review your lawsuit and evidence and answer up to 3 questions in writing (currently only available for California cases). We also have hundreds of free legal information articles available on JusticeDirect Academy.

2. Did you follow the right procedure? This is where we excel. We ensure that you have followed all the correct steps so that you get your day in court and attend your hearing prepared.

3. Did you organize your evidence? As part of our process, you will upload all your evidence, and our software will help you organize it into a judge-friendly evidence packet. We will also provide you with evidence checklists for common types of cases.

The deadline to file your lawsuit depends on:

1. the type of case you have, and

2. the state in which you are filing your lawsuit.

These deadlines are known as the "statutes of limitations."

Here are some reasons you shouldn't wait to file your lawsuit:

1. Most statutes of limitations in California are set at around 2 years.

2. As time passes, you begin to lose your evidence.

3. You don't want the judge to doubt why you waited so long to file your lawsuit.

4. If you do something wrong during your first lawsuit and need to file your case again, the statute of limitations may have passed.

2. Consult an attorney. If you have doubts about your case, you can add our optional add-on, where an independent attorney can review a draft of your small claims lawsuit and evidence and answer up to 3 questions in writing (currently only available for California cases). If, after reviewing the attorney's advice, you prefer not to proceed with your case, you can decide not to file the lawsuit.
