Suing a business is very similar to suing an individual. The only difference when you sue an incorporated business in Florida is whom you provide notice of the lawsuit. In a small claims case that involves suing a private citizen, you file the complaint and then serve the individual with notice of the pending lawsuit. This is called service of process. However, if you sue a business, you must check with the Florida Secretary of State’s office to determine who is registered to accept service on the business’ behalf. Then, you provide a copy of the filed complaint to this designated individual. For example, visit http://www.miami-dadeclerk.com/property_small_claims.asp for information about filing a small claims complaint in Florida.
