Where is Your Case’s Jurisdiction?
A case’s jurisdiction determines what court will handle it and, therefore, what state’s rules apply to it. For most personal injury claims, jurisdiction will make you file your claim in the state where you were injured or the state that the liable party or defendant calls home. With this said, if you were hurt in Mississippi while you were only visiting the state, then your case will probably be managed in Mississippi, meaning you would benefit from hiring a Mississippi personal injury attorney while being an out-of-state client.
