personal injury

 In Pennsylvania, small claims cases can be decided by Magisterial District Judges. A case can be filed in Magisterial District Court on behalf of any person who thinks he or she has a legal right to recover money from another person, or from a business. For example, the following cases could be filed in Court:

• a tenant who has moved from an apartment can sue a landlord who refuses to refund a security deposit;
• a car owner can sue an automobile repair shop that failed to fix his/her car properly;
• a person who loaned money to a neighbor can sue if the neighbor refuses to repay the loan.

The claim must be under $12,000.00 plus interest to be brought in the Magisterial District Court.

 Pennsylvania is a diminished value state, which means you may be entitled to the diminished value of your vehicle after an auto accident. The statute of limitation on diminished value claims in Pennsylvania is 2 years, and Pennsylvania does not have uninsured motorist coverage for diminished value.
