When he turned 21, a young man who lived in State A decided to move to a city in State B. He loaded all his possessions in his truck and trailer and set out for State B. While en route, he was involved in a serious accident in State C with a woman driving an SUV, injuring both parties. Because of his injuries, the man has remained in State C for several months. However, he still intends to relocate to the city in State B as soon as he has recuperated and is able to travel. The woman, a citizen and resident of State D, is preparing to file a negligence action in federal district court against the man for the injuries she suffered in the State C accident. If the woman files the action before the man proceeds to State B, in what federal district or districts is venue proper

The federal district or districts whereby the venue is proper is the District of State C and the District of State A. It should be noted that the federal venue in a civil action will be proper in the district whereby part of the events brought about the claim that occurred.

In this case, the proper venue is the District of State C as a substantial part of the events brought about the claim that occurred there. Also, during the time that the accident took place, the domicile of the man was in State A.
