Q: What court and state can I sue if I reside in Maryland and was injured at Walmart in Kansas?
On August 23, 2020 while on vacation Plaintiff was injured (cut of left arm) at a Walmart store in the State of Kansas. However, Plaintiff resides in the State of Maryland. What are the statute of limitations and what state can the plaintiff file his complaint?
A: You sue in Kansas, in the court having jurisdiction over the location of the Walmart involved; or you can sue Walmart in Arkansas in the county where it has its corporate headquarters (not recommended). You need a Kansas lawyer in the county (or nearby) where the Walmart store is located, who handles personal injury actions. They can advise you on the statute of limitations there.
A:
Kansas, most likely.
Consult a lawyer there regarding the SOL.
