Small Claims Court. Each district court in the State of Washington contains a âSmall Claimsâ division for the settlement of civil disputes in which damages claimed total less than $5,000. Small Claims Court was established to provide a low-cost, user-friendly alternative to litigation.
An individual, which includes a sole proprietorship, may file a claim up to a maximum of $10,000. Only the actual party to the claim may file. You must represent yourself at the small claims hearing. Attorneys or others are not permitted to represent a party in small claims court.
