Re: car accident trial location

Always the county where with of the parties live ... the accident location has no bearing ..but, and this is a big but, it is not fatal where the case is brought.

Re: car accident trial location

Can be either county but if counties are far apart and most medical treatment is in county where plaintiff resides, case should be sued and tried in county B

Re: car accident trial location

The plaintiff gets to chose what county to sue in. The proper county is a county where one of the parties lives, unless the defendant is a municipality. In that case it is the county where the accident took place. If the lawsuit is between two private citizens, the county where the accident took place has no bearing.

If you are considering bringing suit, please feel free to call me with any questions. If you are being sued, contact your insurance company.
