The towboat company is located in Minnesota. As the boat is passing between the states of Missouri and Illinois, there is a grease fire and Abbey is severely burned. The boat ties up on the Illinois side of the river. An ambulance takes her to a local hospital, but she is airlifted to a burn center in Missouri, where she remains for treatment for nearly a year.Which court(s) does or does not have subject matter jurisdiction.
