What is the burden of establishing personal jurisdiction in a personal injury action?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Saavedra v. Albin Manufactuing Corp., Civil No. 10cv2312 L(POR) (S.D. Cal. 2011):

The plaintiff bears the burden of satisfying the first two prongs of this specific jurisdiction test. Sher v. Johnson, 911 F.2d 1357, 1361 (9th Cir. 1990). Where plaintiff fails to satisfy either of these prongs, personal jurisdiction is not established in the forum state.2 Schwarzenegger, 374 F.3d at 802. "If the plaintiff succeeds in satisfying both of the first two prongs, the burden then shifts to the defendant to 'present a compelling case' that the exercise of jurisdiction would not be reasonable." Id.
