Default Judgment Case Guidance
Summary
In Missouri, default judgments dont automatically grant the full amount requested. Courts assess evidence to determine a fair award. If unsatisfied, consider filing a motion to reopen the case to submit additional evidence. Ensure all evidence, like photos and witness testimony, is well-organized. For claims over $25,000, file in circuit court. Share evidence with the opposing party during discovery.Full Conversation
Yes i had to ask * important questions about a case
Sure, ****! Could you please share the details of the case or the questions you have in mind?
Well i had file a civil case in court about a bedbug case and my court daye was set for november 13th * bur prior to that i had a hearing that was scheduled on november 3rd *? I waited 2hours and the defendant didn't show up so the judge said that it was suppose to been a small claim judgement but he ruled in my favor for $*,* dollars but i was asking for more based on other people like my kids was involved i guess what i'm asking is once they don't show up do you suppose get what youare asking for
Hey ****! In a default judgment, like when the defendant doesn’t show up, the court may not automatically grant the full amount you’re asking for. The judge will award an amount they find reasonable based on the evidence presented. If you feel the awarded amount doesn’t cover your losses, you might consider filing a motion to appeal or adjust the judgment. Have you thought about discussing this with a local attorney to explore your options further?
I mean not yet ? But i just thought that once they default then they have to award you the amount

Hey ****! In a default judgment, the court still assesses the evidence to determine a fair amount. It's not automatic to get the full amount requested. If you believe the judgment doesn't fully compensate your losses, consulting a local attorney could help you understand your options. Would you like more information on how to proceed with this?

It seems like your case might need some further clarification and possibly additional evidence submission. Here are a few points you might consider:
- Judges may make decisions based on the evidence presented, even in default judgments.
- If evidence wasn't submitted, consider filing a motion to present additional evidence.
- The judge's unfamiliarity with the case type might suggest a need for specific legal advice.
Have you considered filing a motion to reopen the case to submit your evidence?

Have you considered filing a motion to reopen the case to submit your evidence?
No i didn't but i will? I just thought once i showed up and was ready to go then it was their fault and that should have been a final decision based on that? I mean even though i am the plaintiff in this case and if itvwas the other way around i would of list my case as well. And if i,m asking for more then that's what i have to do

It sounds like there might be additional steps you can take to ensure your case is fully heard. Filing a motion to reopen the case to submit your evidence could be beneficial. Have you considered contacting the court clerk to understand the procedure for submitting new evidence or reopening the case?

I mean when you file a motion to submit your evidence do this be in front of a jury or it's behind close doors

In Missouri, filing a motion to submit evidence typically doesn't involve a jury. It's usually addressed in a pre-trial conference or hearing before a judge. It can occur in the judge's chambers or an open courtroom, but not in front of a jury. Have you reached out to the court clerk for guidance on this process?

Well no thanks but i text you back tomorrow to see what i have to do and also i wanted to know since the judge waiver my fee because of financial teason can i still do it without paying or do i have to do another fee waiver
Case Rating: *
If the judge has already waived your fees due to financial reasons, you typically do not need to file another fee waiver for the same case unless specified by the court. It's a good idea to confirm with the court clerk to ensure no additional fees are required for future filings.
