Re: Theatres

most likely, you would need to sue in Texas. IF you damages were higher, you could sue in Federal court in New Jersey

Re: Theatres

In Texas, suit is filed either in the county of the Defendant's residence/principal place of business, where the incident happened, or where the plaintiff resides. The proper venue would most likely be Dallas County, Texas. We practice in Dallas County.

Please call if you want more information, 800-541-4641. You were asking $30,000 in damages; how much were your medical bills and were there any other damages?
