Raskin v. Allison
Kansas Court of Appeals
30 Kan.App.2d 1240, 57 P.3d 30 (2002)
- Written by Tammy Boggs, JD
Facts
Two minors (plaintiffs) were injured in Mexican waters when their watercraft collided with a watercraft operated by Chad Leathers (defendant). The minors and Leathers were all residents of Kansas. Through representatives, the minors sued Leathers in Kansas state court, asserting negligence-based claims. The trial court granted partial summary judgment to Leathers, finding that the substantive law of Mexico would govern the personal-injury action because the injuries undisputedly occurred in Mexico. The minors appealed, arguing that Kansas state law should apply because all the parties were residents of Kansas.
