Yes, you can file a claim against someone who is not a resident of your state. However, you should consult your state’s local rules to determine the best court to file the lawsuit. For example, you may need to file the claim in the defendant’s county of residence in another state. In addition, you may be able to file a claim where the contract was signed, if applicable, or if you were involved in an accident, where the accident occurred. If you need to file a claim in another state, contact an attorney licensed in that state to help you complete the claim according to the procedural rules of the state.
