What is the name of your state? Alabama
I have decided thay I need to sue a company in small claims court.I have never been to court before and I am trying to gain as much knowledge as possible.I want to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
I have a few questions.
A) If I were to lose,would I have to pay large court or attorney fees if the defendent hired an attorney?Or would I only have to pay the filing fees?
B) Can I subpeona a rep from the company that admitted over the phone that their equipment was not secure? (A dump truck from their company hailed my car with rocks and caused damage to my vehicle,she was the one who investigated the truck)
C) Can I use my 11 year old daughter as a witness since she was in the car with me and witnessed the rocks coming from the dump truck?
D) In Alabama there is a limit of $3,000 in small claims court.I have $2,000 in damages to my vehicle.Can I ask for an additional $1,000 for the dimished value?My car is a 2006 Chrysler 300.
Thanks in advance for any help.
