What is the jurisdictional limit in small claims court?
The jurisdictional limit is the maximum amount of money you can sue for in small claims court. It is determined by state law, so each state has a different jurisdictional limit. If your claim is in excess of the jurisdictional limit, and you sue in small claims court, you waive any judgment greater than the jurisdictional limit. The below link has a table showing the jurisdictional limit for each state’s small claims courts.
