Pablo, a resident of New Mexico, while driving through Arizona was struck by a SUV driven by Dick, a resident of California. Dick was speeding when the accident happened and Pablo suffered severe injuries that ruined a potential acting career. Pablo's damages are estimated at $200,000. Discuss the court system(s) in which Pablo may bring a lawsuit.
What will be an ideal response?
Pablo could bring this case in the federal court system because he and Dick are residents of different states and there is more than $75,000 in dispute. This is a diversity case. Filing in federal court is optional, however, so Pablo could alternatively bring this action in a state system.
