United States Tenth Circuit

Kansas district court erred in applying the Texas saving statute to dismiss an injury claim arising from the collapse of a man lift in Freeport, Texas. After the Texas appellate court dismissed the case for lack of personal jurisdiction, plaintiffs filed this diversity action well within the six-month period allowed by the Kansas saving statute.
