Who you're suing · all 51 jurisdictions
What the company did is the claim. Suing the right entity, and the arbitration clause you probably signed.
the short answer
Yes, and most claims on this site are already against one. But "a company" is not the claim — what the company did is. The claim is what sets your deadline, which court you file in and what it is worth, so the useful move is to name it. Two things do change when the defendant is a business rather than a person: you have to name the right legal entity, and you may have signed away your right to court entirely.
Gym contracts, phone plans, car finance, employment paperwork and most terms of service contain one. It usually means your dispute goes to a private arbitrator instead of a court, often bars you from joining a class action, and it is generally enforceable. It does not always cover everything, and small claims court is frequently carved out of it. Read that clause before you plan around a courtroom you may not be entitled to.
