SCC is definitely worth a try. In my state it costs $35 to file a claim. I have done it twice, and was successful in both cases. First time was against Dominican Airlines (1985), after they refused to pay compensation for denied boarding after over-booking. Soon after getting my claim paid they stopped flying to the US because their planes were about to be seized by creditors! Second time was after a traffic accident where the other party's insurance company refused to pay my claim. The other driver did not answer the summons and I got a default judgment, paid by the other driver's insurance company. In another minor damage claim, the other party's insurance company paid as soon as the summons was delivered.
It is my understanding that businesses have to send an attorney to SCC, so if the amout is small, it is cheaper for them to pay the claim.
