If the amount of compensation requested is not much, try to settle it through consultation, and it is really impossible to go to court. Don't hire a lawyer if it's not necessary. The money is not enough for the lawyer's fee, hehe. Write your own complaint and submit it to the court. Write clearly how much you want the other party to compensate, and write clearly the facts and compensation items. The process of civil litigation is relatively simple. If you really can't write, ask someone with a little culture nearby to help write one, submit it to the filing court of your local county (district) court, pay some legal fees, and the court will inform you.
