What state do I file in?
What is the name of your state? Maryland (currently)
While residing in Guantanamo Bay Cuba(US Territory), I worked for a company that is based out of North Carolina and was injured (at work) in Jan 2004. I was helping a customer, using a flat bed dolly and my heel was grabbed by the wheel and flipped backwards causing hyper extetion to the tendon and nerve injury. I have since found, through medical treatment that I have perminant nerve damage in my left foot from this injury. I have a workman's comp. claim, but no attorney,(out of New Orleans) and was told today that my statute of limitations to file for damage has run out. My claim was orriginaly being taken out of North Carolina where I was told that I had to complete medical treatment and have an assesment done before I could even begin to file for damages, as I did and now that my case has been transfered I am being told different. I do know that this is US Territory and not Cuban soil and most issues are handled out of Jacksonville, Florida but I am not sure what state I should be filing out of and were to begin. Can some one point me in the right direction?
