Question

If a name on the summons is spell wrong or incorrect, do you have to file the claim again? In reference to a car accident.



Answer

No. If the defendant is served and files an answer, it's irrelevent. If they make an issue of it, yous could get the summons reissued with the correct spelling. If the name is incorrect on the complaint itself, the plaintiff can file a motion to amend it.
