Q: What type of case is: Other Personal Injury (Limited Jurisdiction)
I received notice via 3rd party (not subpoena) that a suit had been filed against me in the LA County Superior Court. I have no idea what the lawsuit is about, but the Case Type is listed as OTHER PERSONAL INJURY (Limited Jurisdiction). What type of suit would this be?
A:
You should read the Complaint which should be available at the Court Clerk's Office; and you should be timely served with a copy of it by the opposing party. Limited Jurisdiction refers to the ceiling on the amount of damages. See for example: http://www.lacourt.org/division/smallclaims/SC0014.aspx
