How can I sue a company in Connecticut state if I am in NY state?

Answer 1

contact the Bar Association in that state for a referral. You don't have to live in that state to sue in that state.

Answer 2

You'd need to hire an attorney. You'd also need to know a few things:

1. Does the company regularly do business or have any permanent offices in NY? If so, then you can sue the company in NY.
2. What kind of injury was it? (Why do you want to sue them?) Where did the injury occur? If they acted outside of NY but the injury took place in NY, you might be able to sue them in NY.

There are other ways to sue them in NY if they don't regularly do business in NY, but you should go see an attorney about that.

Answer 3

crazygonuts said it right. It is called long-arm jursidiction and if there are sufficient contacts between the CT company and New York, you can sue them in NY.
Must be in a court of general jurisdiction, so you can not sue them in small claims court.
Best to get professional help, hire an attorney, but if you have lots of time and the inclination, you can do it yourself.

Answer 4

only if the company has only that location there. most companies that are sued are local companies which it goes to the parent company in the state its in. if you filed a suit say against sears at a store near you, it would be served their but then sent to chicago to the corporate tower.

Answer 5

You will have to get an attorney who is licensed in Connecticutt if that is where you are wanting to sue.

Answer 6

I suspect you can't, but you could retain a lawyer in CT to sue on your behalf.
