Asked in GA May 19, 2022 ,  0 answers
I was in another state at my father's second home. A, now, ex-friend of mine was making fun of my old girlfriend so I made fun of his current girlfriend. He then cracked me in the face with a beer bottle. I filed a police report while I was in Illinois but had to return to Georgia. I then went to the doctor to find out that I have a hair-line fracture in my cheek bone. There were 5 witnesses and I have photos of the damage to my face the following morning. Do I have a case? How does one go about sueing out of state? Do I need to file a suit with in the state of illinois with an attorney that practices in that state? I live in georgia I was visiting family for thanksgiving. What do I sue for and what kind of attorney do I need?

You should contact a lawyer in Illinois to determine what you can do there. Since the ex-friend is not in Georgia and the incident did not happen in Georgia, you have to sue in Illinois if you do sue.
