Si se lesiona mientras visita otro estado, aún puede presentar un reclamo por lesiones personales, pero saber dónde presentarlo es clave. Por lo general, su caso se puede presentar en:
El estado de residencia del demandado (donde vive la parte culpable), o
El estado donde ocurrió el accidente, ya que ese tribunal tiene jurisdicción sobre incidentes dentro de sus fronteras.
Estas reglas de jurisdicción pueden ser complejas, especialmente si hay varios estados involucrados. Un abogado con experiencia en lesiones personales puede ayudar a determinar el lugar adecuado, navegar por las diferentes leyes estatales y manejar las negociaciones con compañías de seguros de otros estados.
