U.S. Small Claims Court



Depending on state law, small claims courts are limited to claims for damages ranging from $2,500 to $15,000. The types of cases tried in small claims courts are also limited, and include damages from fender benders, disputes over security deposits, and claims based on bad checks. Because the procedures in small claims courts are not as complex as in other courts, you may be able to file and present your cases quickly and cheaply, without a lawyer.

Do I Have To Pay This Medical Bill?
Lat year I had a lot of dental work done. Total cost was to be about $3,000 and I was told my dental insurance would cover $950. I had the work done and paid the bill in full. Then a month later my dental insurance (MetLife) rejected the claim and only paid $115.00 leaving me with a balance due of $840.00 My dentist didn''t even suggest this could happen or that there was any risk of it possibly happening. I was basically told that my insurance would cover this much and how much I''d be responsible for and I made my decision to have the work done based upon that information. And I paid my part in full. As a result of doing the dental work in the first place I don''t have much money left, let alone $840. If I had known it was even a possibility I would have waited and probably decided NOT to do it. I really feel like I''m being taken advantage of by both my dentist and dental insurance provider. Seems like one hell of a scam to tell people they are covered say they are not then collect.
