I speak from experience as this happened to me last year. In my case the company, which is one of the largest in the US, flew a team of lawyers up to Canada and I ended up settling before any of it went to court. Cost alot of money though, but the suits were asking for over $100 million in damages.
So are they required to fly over? Or can they make you have to get a lawyer in the USA to go to court and fight for your right for them to have to fly over or to just handle the case?
