Can I go to a small claims court over an iPhone 5 screen?
Basically my ex- friends child got hold of my phone and dropped it on the floor and shattered my screen, she was really apologetic and said she will pay for my phone, I text her and asked when she would do it and is now refusing to pay when she had said she would, I don't have the money to pay for it but yet she lives at home with her parents etc just wondering if I could have a bit of advice?
You have to work it out with your friend
accidents happen, that is life
It's good that you said "ex-friend", because after you haul her but into court to make her pay for a new cell phone, she definitely won't be a friend any more.
Not everything in life is a lawsuit. Go buy a cheap phone.
Yes - you can take anyone to Small Claims Court any time. The only restrictions are jurisdiction, dollar amount, considerations of that nature.
You would have to sue the parent for negligent supervision - and I'm not sure you would win.
This is where having insurance for the phone comes in handy.
A replacement screen is not expensive and you are friends.
You can replace it by yourself now.
In the future, your friend will pay you or do other things for compensation,
maybe a drink or dinner.
By the way, if you have a newest Premium Tempered glass screen protector,
the screen will not so easy to damage.

- My iPhone 4S keeps turning off over and over and over again? I was on my phone just listening to OM&M on pandora and going on twitter when all of a sudden it shut off and now it's stuck on the turning off screen for like an hour or two. What do i do I'm FREAKING OUT.
- Have you heard of the fake iOS 7 ad that claims to waterproof your iPhone? There are a lot of angry comments from people that believed about that and actually tried submerging their phone in water. Are they really that stupid? *rolls eyes*
- Do you like big screen or small small screen mobile? Someone likes iphone, But others think the iphone's screen is too small. In other condition, someone like samsung, but others think the smausng s4 has big screen. It is not convenient to carry, how do you think?
- Can this be used against me in court? So IIm being accused of stealing someone's credit card and purchasing an iPhone. If I ask that s said person to drop charges and allow me to pay the value of the phone can and will that be used against me in court?
