No. You can file suit in several different locations, depending on the facts of the case. In any case (no matter what the facts), you can always sue a defendant where he lives. In the case of companies, this means that you can sue a company wherever the company is "domiciled". Louisiana corporations must register their domicile with the Louisiana secretary of state. The information is available online on the secretary of state's website.
