When filing a Small Claims in court, how?

I'm in the middle of filing a Small Claims suit. On the package, it asks for "interest". How does one determine that in such a case?

    Ask for interest at the prime rate from the date of injury. The court will calculate it on the day of Judgment.

    Did you have a contract with the defendant? If so, did your agreement include interest on what is owed? If not, they you cannot claim interest.

    You can call and ask the court clerk if you have any questions or need more information.
