What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hello all, I've never sued anyone in small claims court before but i need to get my old ex neighbors who were an absolute nightmare to live next to. We purchased our home there and they made it a bullet point to harrass and file a phony police report as a restraining order so they could make it look like i was the one causing all the disturbance. When we finally had enough and moved out, me and my buddy whom was helping me move, were attacked after he called my friend a "ngr" and proceeded to spit on him and then blows were thrown. They were arrested, the DA tried them in criminal court and found them guilty, i was awarded restitution for damages. So now i ask, can i use that as weight in my case and what else would help me out? my stiches were covered by the hospital can i ask for emotional damages/pain and suffering? i wanna go after these bullies for 10k (the max in california) any sage advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
