Key Considerations: State vs. Federal Court
Nature of Personal Injury Cases: Personal injury cases typically fall under state law and are commonly heard in state courts.
Potential for Removal to Federal Court: In certain conditions, a defendant may choose to transfer a case from state to federal court, known as removal. This is often preferred by defendants, especially corporations, as they perceive friendlier procedural rules in federal court.
Diversity of Citizenship: One requirement for removal is “diversity of citizenship,” meaning the plaintiff and defendant reside in different states. For instance, a car accident case involving parties from the same state would be heard in state court.
Preventing Fraudulent Joinder: Plaintiffs cannot add an in-state defendant to retain the case in state court, known as “fraudulent joinder.” Federal courts may reject such attempts and retain jurisdiction.

I was very pleased with how well Eric Rogers represented me. I was so nervous with having a life changing accident followed by surgery, but Eric made sure to check on me and keep me informed through the whole process. I am glad I made the decision to have them represent me. He helped take a horrible situation and make it much better.
When you are in financial distress and physical pain it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions . That, in addition to not understanding a legal process complicates matters even more.Eric explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that where needed to be done. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. Eric made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome.He gave me some of the “Best” advice I have ever received.Thank you!
