The underlying claims arose from a motor vehicle accident in Kansas where steel pipe sold by DKM broke apart, killing Brooke Rees. The appellate court made its preliminary writ of prohibition permanent, holding that Missouri's long-arm statute did not authorize personal jurisdiction over DKM because the sale of the pipe occurred in Kansas, and DKM did not transact business in Missouri related to the accident.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","contracts","wrongful-death"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=200976","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-ex-rel-dkm-enterprises-llc-v-honorable-stacey-lett-in-h-d86384","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: llc","text: business"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"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"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
