im not sure but i think u have to file it in their homestate but please dont quote me on that You'll need to file the lawsuit in the state where the actionable offense took place. For instance, if you bought a car in the other person's state but now find it won't run while you're living in your state, you need to file in the state in which you bought the car. The suit has to be filed where the wrong ocurred.

∙ 13y agoGenerally you can sue in any state where a Defendant resides - you do not have to be a resident of a state to sue there. I would always recommend hiring counsel - and you will need to hire counsel that is licensed to practice in the state in which you are filing suit.
