Can You Sue an Out-of-State Driver After a Georgia Car Accident?

So, back on the topic of out-of-state drivers causing car wrecks in the state of Georgia. The general rule is that you get to sue a person in the county where they live. Well, what happens when someone from out of state causes the wreck? If someone is on their way to Florida from the state of Michigan, driving through Atlanta, and they cause a wreck, do you have to file a lawsuit in the state of Michigan? No. The rules here in Georgia require that when a person is driving through the state of Georgia, they are subject to civil process here in the state of Georgia. You have the right to file a lawsuit against that person in the county where the wreck happened. So just because someone from out of state comes through and causes an injury, they don’t get to get away with it, and they don’t get to make it more difficult for you to seek justice for the injuries they’ve caused.
