If Javier is traveling from his home in New York to Dallas, Texas. While driv- ing through Oklahoma, his brakes fail and he is injured in the ensuing crash. Javier wants to sue the maker of his car, Energy-Auto Inc. Energy's headquar- ters is in New York. It does not have any dealerships in Oklahoma or doany advertising in Oklahoma.

could this be a state or federal case? Because of the following:

state since they are both from New York

or

federal because personal jurisdiction

Advantages of using federal court versus using state court for this type of suit would be that the plaintiff would get to choose the court to file their case.

Disadvantages of using federal court versus using state court for this type of suit would be once the decision is made it would be final?

I just want to make sure I am understanding the difference between state and federal cases and my summery is accurate.

Thank You for your guidance.
