Emily wаs driving her cаr 15 miles оver the speed limit neаr a busy intersectiоn in a majоr Missouri city. Brad, a South Carolina resident who was visiting Missouri on a business trip, was driving his own car and accidentally drove through a red traffic light and crashed into Emily’s vehicle which caused serious injuries to both cars and both drivers. Emily sues Brad in a Missouri state court alleging his negligent driving (running the red light) caused her damages. Brad files a counterclaim against Emily alleging that her negligent driving (she was speeding, after all) is what led to the accident. The jury in the case finds that because both parties were negligent in causing the accident neither of them are able to recover anything in the lawsuit. Because Brad, a South Carolina resident, committed a tort in Missouri any Missouri state court will automatically have which element that is required to bring a lawsuit against him?

Viоlet inflаted her cаr tires оne mоrning, but she hаd no idea how much air the tires needed. There was a label on the side of each tire that said, “Recommended air capacity 40-45 PSI -- WARNING DO NOT OVERINFLATE,” but Violet didn’t read the label and filled the tires up to 65 PSI (“Pounds per Square Inch”). After inflating the tires, she drove her car to school, parked next to the school’s main entrance, and went inside. Shortly after Violet went inside, Ricardo walked past the parked car on his way into the school while carrying a basketball in his hand. As he walked by Violet’s parked car, one of the car tires exploded because it was overinflated. The blast from the tire explosion was so loud that it ruptured both of Ricardo’s ear drums. Additionally, the force from the blast caused the basketball to launch out of Ricardo’s hands and bounce inside an open window on the second floor of the school building. When the basketball landed inside the second floor room, it happened to knock over a chemistry experiment that Mr. Nye was working on. The chemicals that Mr. Nye was working with were very dangerous and flammable if they were mixed improperly. The basketball crash caused them to spill all over the place and start a fire that severely burned Mr. Nye’s face. Who would be most likely to succeed in a negligence lawsuit brought against Violet for damages incurred resulting from her car tire explosion?
