This could include having a physical presence, conducting business, or otherwise establishing a substantial link to State A.

For instance, asserting that the subsidiary is always subject to the same jurisdiction does not take into account the requirement for sufficient contacts. Additionally, claiming that the corporation is exempt from wrongful death claims overlooks the fact that corporations can be
