General Forms (Seb)-Statement of Claims

The District of Columbia General Forms (SEB)-Statement of Claims is a legal document used to file a claim in the District of Columbia courts. This form is used to outline the facts of the case, including the damages sought and the basis for the claim. It is a necessary step in the litigation process and must be filled out accurately and completely in order for a plaintiff to have his or her case heard. There are two types of District of Columbia General Forms (SEB)-Statement of Claims, which are the Short Form Statement of Claim and the Long Form Statement of Claim. The Short Form Statement of Claim is used for cases that involve minor matters or those wherein the damages are less than $5,000. On the other hand, the Long Form Statement of Claim is used for more complex cases, or those wherein the damages exceed $5,000. Both forms require the plaintiff to provide information regarding the cause of action, the legal basis for the claim, the parties involved, the damages sought, and any other relevant information.
