Is there a limit on the number of claims I can file in small claims court?

Yes, there is a limit on the number of claims you can file in small claims court in Kansas. According to Kansas law, a person may bring no more than two claims up to $2,500 in a calendar year for a single cause of action. This includes all claims filed in any Kansas County. In addition, the total amount of any two or more claims you file may not exceed $4,000 in a calendar year. For example, if you file two claims of $2,000 each, the total is $4,000 and you have reached the $4,000 maximum for the year. It is important to note that the limit is on claims, not on court appearances. You may appear in small claims court multiple times, but you may only file two claims of up to $2,500 each per calendar year. Moreover, the limit on claims does not apply to counter-claims filed by a defendant. Lastly, it is important to note that the two-claim per calendar year limit does not apply to appeals as you can appeal any claim regardless of the amount of claims you have previously filed.
