Exceptions and details

West Virginia has no separately named small claims court. Magistrate courts hear civil cases up to $20,000, exclusive of interest and costs. HB 2761 (2025 Regular Session) raised the limit from $10,000, effective July 7, 2025. The Judiciary's Magistrate Courts page (courtswv.gov/lower-courts/magistrate-courts) states $20,000. Its older 'Information for the Public' page still says $10,000.

The 2-year period applies to personal actions for personal injuries "for which no limitation is otherwise prescribed." Other statutes may set different periods for specific claims.

This is the West Virginia State Bar's own referral site; it says "A public service provided by The West Virginia State Bar." The Bar's site (wvbar.org/public-information/get-legal-help/) links to it. The first 30-minute consultation costs $25 or less.
