It depends on the facts of the case and if you can show that those defendants were somehow joint tortfeasors and/or how there was a continuous tort allowing one chosen venue for all of the defendants
Section 1983 cases are very complicated and fraught with pitfalls which could cause case to be dismissed (i.e., if you are currently an inmate, you must follow special procedures, etc)
You need to hire counsel who has successfully filed and prosecuted these types of cases as we have
