Take Spirit Airlines to Small Claims Court if Your Issue is Not Resolved

If you do not get a satisfactory response to your claim, you can opt to sue Spirit Airlines to the small claims court. An unsatisfactory response means lack of response, very little amount offered for compensation, or refusal to compensate. You have to get the official registered business name of the airline before starting the process of suing the airline:

Use the following steps to sue Spirit Airlines on small claims court:

  1. Analyze if Your Suit Will be Accepted - You have to know the requirements and limitations of filing a suit in a small claims court. For instance, small claims courts adjudicate claims on monetary compensation and limit the maximum amount they can award. Therefore, make sure the payment you seek is in monetary value and falls within your state's small claims dollar limit.

  2. Send A Demand Letter - Most small claims require that you first send a demand letter to the party you are suing before taking the matter to court. A demand letter is an official letter to Spirit Airlines addressing your complaints, the amount you need in compensation, and informing them you intend to take legal action if they fail to address the issue within a specific time. The letter will prove that you have made the complaint to the airline, but they have been unable to solve your complaint, hence a lawsuit. You should have a copy of the letter, which you will attach as proof of having written one.

  3. Fill in and File Court Documents - If Spirit Airlines fails to respond to your demand letter, you can proceed to sue them in court. There are different processes and forms that you will be required to fill out before filing your suit. The documents you fill out will depend on your state's small claims court requirements. You have to make at least copies of the documents you fill, one for the court, one for your, and another to serve Spirit Airlines. You will then take the documents to court, and the court will verify them. You'll then pay filing fees, after which you will be given a court attendance date.

  4. Serve Court Documents and Wait for Court Date - Now, send a copy of the court documents to Spirit Airlines. Sending a copy of the papers informs them that a lawsuit has been instituted and a court date set.
