Jane wants to file a suit against Joan for a car accident where Jane has sustained damages of $125,000, which court should the following case be properly filed in?

Solution

Two types of court could be choice for filing a car accident suit claiming damanges.
The choice obviously depends upon the amount of damage compensation that one is filing in the case.

If the claim range from a low of $1,500 in Kentucky and Rhode Island to a high of $25,000 in Tennessee, then  small claims court could be approached. Otherwise  regular civil court in the state where the accident happened would be the choice.

As here Jane is going to file claim of $125000 that is a big amount of claim, the regular civil court of the state where the accident took place would be appropriate.
