Marsha Mills v. Quality Supply Trucking, Inc.
Nov 20, 1998OUTCOME: Plaintiff's cause of action which is new is, never the less, valid; and public policy dictates that West Virginia comparative negligence will apply as Maryland's law is repugnant to that public policy.
The Plaintiff's deceased husband was working for Quality Supply Trucking, Inc. when he was shot and killed by a Roadway Trucker in Maryland. Certified Questions: 1. Is there a cause of action for Inte ... ntional Interference With an Entitlement (new cause of action); and 2. Will West Virginia comparative negligence apply over lex loci because Maryland has contributory negligence.
