what is your plan to respond with more details at the next step, or when you have your day in court? How are you justifying the request for $1,000 and not more or less? I ask because I would be interested in doing this as well. edit- I realize that OP could be different from the creator of that website, so I guess that could be a general question to someone more legally informed than I. How does one determine what the right amount to sue for is in a case like this? You are suing for negligence but can't prove that you have actually suffered some damage (yet).
