Adams v. Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC

United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio
2019 WL 1518873 (2019)

Facts

Ohio resident Chandler Adams (plaintiff) worked for a company hired by Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC (BATO) (defendant) to clean an industrial fan in BATO’s La Vergne, Tennessee, manufacturing facility. While Adams was inside the fan, a BATO employee mistakenly turned the fan on. Adams suffered severe injuries from the fan’s blades and was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. He eventually returned home, where he received ongoing treatment. Adams filed a negligence action against BATO in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. BATO moved to transfer the case to the Middle District of Tennessee because it was where the incident occurred and where Adams received initial treatment, making it the district of residence for the various BATO-employee and medical witnesses. Adams opposed transfer, arguing that his injuries made travel physically and financially challenging. BATO noted, however, that Adams and his potential witnesses resided in Columbus, which was in the Southern District of Ohio—not the Northern District, in which the suit was filed. Travel would therefore be required even for Adams’s selected venue. The district court considered the parties’ arguments regarding transfer.
