Question
Cooper sues Company A in state court in South Carolina, where he lives, for negligence alleging personal injury and property damage of $100,000 after a truck driven by an employee of Company A rear-ended his pickup truck. Company A is incorporated in Delaware, has its headquarters in New York, but does a substantial amount of business in South Carolina. Claiming diversity of citizenship, Company A seeks removal to federal district court, but Cooper opposes the motion. Which of the following is true regarding whether the case may be properly removed to federal district court?Explanation / Answer
The correct option is option D
The amount of controversy satisfies diversity requirements. And if company A’s nerve center is in a state other than South Carolina, then the case may be properly removed to Federal court.
In this case there is diversity. It means that the company was established in other state than the South Carolina, and incident happened at South Carolina. Due to interference of various states the case can be transferred to the federal court for judgment.
