What to Know About Suing a Business

Thinking of suing a business? Learn what qualifies, what evidence you need, and how the process works.

If a business harmed you — through bad service, negligence, or a broken contract — you might be able to sue.

Here’s what it takes to bring a business to court.

  • Breach of contract
  • Product defects
  • Fraud or false advertising
  • Personal injury at their location
  • Overbilling or scams

You’ll need:

  • Receipts, agreements, or messages
  • Proof of harm (financial or physical)
  • Evidence of attempts to resolve the issue

You can often start in small claims court — especially if your claim is under a certain amount (usually $5,000–$10,000 depending on your state).
