An accident in Florida killed three of the four members of a family from Alabama who were riding in their Kia automobile that had been bought in Alabama. Suit was filed in Alabama state court against Kia by the survivor of the accident. Kia requested that the trial be moved to Florida on the ground of forum nonconveniens because almost all of the witnesses were in Florida. Was that motion reasonable?
