We live in Cincy,OH. Build retirement home in TN. Lots of construction problems. Can we sue them from Cincy?

Retirement home build in Tennessee. We live in Cincinnati, OHIO. Over there no home inspections like here every stage of construction. Someone check the problems for you. There is a 8 feet long hole in the foundation. Instead of concret, they grave(little stone). Eventually the collaps. Deck they didn't gapping(trex deck). The corners all spit open. We think deck will fall down like twin city bridge fell down. Builder does anything they want. No one controls problems. No one. We live 5 hours away from TN home. Is any body know the law about this area. Thank you all. We have all the pictures to prove problems. dou89@yahoo.com.

1. you have to sue where the problem took place
2. I think you'll have to sue them in TN. It sounds like it might be a large lawsuit so you will probably need a lawyer. If it was less than $1500 you could go to magistrate or small claims court but this sounds like it would be more than that.
3. The jurisdiction for breach of contract, which is what this is, is where the contract was formed, where the contract was to be performed, or where the breach occurred. From your story, my guess is that all of these occurred in Tennessee, which means you must sue in a Tennessee court.
