The trial court dismissed the case based on the doctrine of forum non conveniens, finding Missouri an inconvenient forum and Mexico an available alternative. The appellate court reversed and remanded, agreeing that Missouri was an inconvenient forum but holding that the trial court abused its discretion by finding Mexico an available forum without ensuring Defendants would waive the statute of limitations defense for all Appellants.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","negligence","wrongful-death","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=145415","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/jose-rabago-et-al-appellants-v-kansas-city-southern-inc-et-al-respondents-107163","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: negligence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"wrongful-death","label":"Wrongful Death","href":"/practice-areas/wrongful-death","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: wrongful-death"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/wrongful-death"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
