If you file suit as a pro se complainant or your attorney files suit on your behalf, you would do so in civil court, where personal injury cases are filed. In cases where a plaintiff seeks $5,000 or less from a defendant the case would be filed in small claims court, if the plaintiff is seeking damages between $5,001 – $14,999 then it would be filed in county court and if the plaintiff is seeking damages amounting to $15,000 or more then the case would be filed in circuit court. This applies to cases filed in Florida other jurisdictions may have different monetary limits for the various courts.
