QUESTION
Do I need to contact an attorney where I live or where the accident happened?

More details to this question:
I was staying at a hotel for a company event. I slipped in the bath tub which had no anti slip mat and broke two ribs. The housekeeper later pointed out they put anti-skid mats under the sink because they do not look attractive draped over the side of the tub. What are my next steps?

While each state has its own venue rules, in general you can bring an action either in the county where the injury occurred, or the county where the defendant (presumably a corporation) 'lives.' I suggest locating and consulting a skilled personal injury lawyer very soon.

You need a lawyer in the jurisdiction where the incident occurred. Perhaps your local lawyer can handle it, however.
