VENUE FOR PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUITS IN IDAHO

The proper place for trial of an action is called “venue“. Proper venue is determined by the type of case or residency of the defendant.

Improper venue occurs when a lawsuit is filed in the wrong district court for the case. Filing a complaint in an improper venue may result in dismissal of the complaint.

When choosing venue for a personal injury case, plaintiffs attorneys aim to file the lawsuit in a location that offers the best strategic advantage for their client based on the specifics facts and circumstances of the case. Jurisdictionally aware attorneys typically consider where the injury occurred, where the defendant resides or does business, and whether the jurisdiction is considered “plaintiff-friendly” to maximize the potential for a favorable outcome, taking into consideration local laws, demographics and the reputation of courts in that area.

To ensure proper and strategic venue, it is important to consult an experienced Idaho personal injury lawyer.

Proper Venue for Idaho Personal Injury Cases

The proper venue for personal injury actions in Idaho is usually the county where the defendant resides (if an Idaho resident) although there are many important exceptions depending on the type of defendant (whether individual, corporate or government entity).
