Q: Do Florida circuit courts have jurisdiction over claims less than 15,000 dollars?
We moved to Florida from New York City about a year and a half ago.
We cannot get our New York insurance carrier to pay a claim since August 2017. We would like to file a law suit from where we live in Brevard County for 1,500 dollars. Does circuit court cover claims for less than this amount? If so, can you state the statue which would allow this claim to move forward?
A: The state that has jurisdiction over your claim depends on in what state the claim arose. More facts are needed in order to determine who has jurisdiction and venue.
