ARE YOU VISITING IN CALIFORNIA OR THE UNITED STATES AND WERE INJURED BY SOMEONE ELSE’S NEGLIGENT ACTIONS? THEN CALL PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS FOR FREE CONSULTATION OF YOUR CASE (Part 2 of 2)
Where you file your lawsuit can play an incredible role in your lawsuit. For example, if you file your lawsuit in the wrong place, you could potentially be late in the statute of limitations and forfeit your right to sue. Or, you may waste a lot of time, effort and money only to realize that your lawsuit is not filed appropriately. The United States offers many programs and opportunities for international visitors to tour the area, work or attend schools in America. But what happens if you are injured while you’re in the United States?
Cases usually take place where the incident happened or where the damage occurred. The reason for this is because the evidence and witnesses are usually more accessible in the surrounding area as well as any law enforcement or governmental agencies involved. Other times, jurisdiction depends on where the defendant is located, or where he/she has “contacts”. For example, if you are involved in a car accident with someone who lives in California, but you live in France, more likely than not, you will have to sue the person in California, or the United States. However, if you were injured by a company that has a division in France, but your injury occurred in the United States, you still might be able to sue them internationally, as well as where the injury occurred.
