Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-arm jurisdiction is generally permitted over nonresidents who have transacted other business in the state that allegedly caused injury to another person. This means that even if the defendant is not located in the state where the lawsuit is filed, they can still be subject to the jurisdiction of that state's court if they have conducted business or other activities within that state that led to the alleged injury.
