Can my CLIENT file a lawsuit in a different state?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: December 6th, 2019 1:29 PM Author: twisted library My Client lives in Florida. He was sold an insurance product in Florida. Agent fraudulently said that the product was sold in Georgia because agent wasnt licensed in Florida. Insurance company is based out of Texas. Can we file a state or federal case in Texas on behalf of my client? I am licensed in Texas but not in Florida or Georgia. I assume I can b/c defendant is not prejudiced by a case in the state in which it has its headquarters. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4396107&forum_id=2#39224827) |

The venue rules will depend on what court you are suing in and, potentially, what claims you are making, and whether there is an exclusive venue clause in the contract. |

Date: December 6th, 2019 1:59 PM Author: twisted library So If i file in TX (company's incorporation state), can I reference FL law and FL causes of action / SOL in the complaint? Or does it have to be TX law, causes of action, and SOL? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4396107&forum_id=2#39225000) |

Date: December 6th, 2019 2:01 PM Author: Tripping dopamine church look man. you can sue in fl because that's where the damages occurred or coa accrued. or in texas because the defendant lives there and certainly can't object to difficulty in travelling to defend self and hire lawyers far away. bro this is beyond simple shit.

Date: December 6th, 2019 2:04 PM Author: Tripping dopamine church c'mon man. which ever state you sue in their laws. you think a texas judge has to study fl law? it's called forum selection...you got two choices you pick the one you want because of the state's laws ideally not because of plane ticket prices (which the client should obviously cover anyhow).

Date: December 6th, 2019 2:06 PM Author: provocative place of business house This is a "choice of law" question, not "forum selection." At any rate, it's probably in the contract, unless P is asserting some statutory claim or something. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4396107&forum_id=2#39225057) |
