I was on vacation in Florida when I was involved in an accident with someone who lives there. Where should I file a lawsuit?
It would be best to file the lawsuit in the county where the accident occurred, since the other party is someone who lives there. Tennessee law looks at the most significant relationship of the parties in determining who may have jurisdiction and since the accident occurred there and the other party is from there, it would be best to file there. You may want to check with an attorney in your area. There is always a possibility that they know an attorney in the city where you need to file your lawsuit. Good luck!
