<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: You Can Sue Your Moving Company
If your moving company does not show up, severely damages an expensive item of yours or tries to hold your possessions hostage to extort money from you--essentially a moving company scam--then it is possible to sue them. You may sue them for actual damages only; the amount you paid them to release your possessions or the amount it cost to repair a damaged item.
On the Other: It's Not Worth the Time and Money
Suing anyone--even in small claims court--can be time-consuming and expensive. You may have to pay processing fees, lawyer fees and spend some time reading about court procedure and preparing your case. Without a proper contract and documentation that states the amount of your actual damages, you may be wasting your time.
Bottom Line
You can sue your moving company provided you have documentation that proves actual damages, especially if the damages are in the thousands of dollars or you feel you have been the victim of extortion. However, suing your moving company may not be worth it if the damages are $500 or less.
