When he turned 21, a young man who lived in State A decided to move to a city in State B. He loaded all his possessions in his truck and trailer and set out for State B. While en route, he was involved in a serious accident in State C with a woman driving an SUV, injuring both parties. Because of his injuries, the man has remained in State C for several months. However, he still intends to relocate to the city in State B as soon as he has recuperated and is able to travel. The woman, a citizen and resident of State D, is preparing to file a negligence action in federal district court against the man for the injuries she suffered in the State C accident. If the woman files the action before the man proceeds to State B, in what federal district or districts is venue proper

Answer 1

Answer: The District of State C and the District of State A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The federal district or districts whereby the venue is proper is the District of State C and the District of State A. It should be noted that the federal venue in a civil action will be proper in the district whereby part of the events brought about the claim that occurred.

In this case, the proper venue is the District of State C as a substantial part of the events brought about the claim that occurred there. Also, during the time that the accident took place, the domicile of the man was in State A.
