A federal judge is allowing a plaintiff to apply Massachusetts law to his loss-of-consortium claim for several injuries stemming from a car accident that occurred in New Hampshire.
Tyioun Keyes, a Massachusetts resident, filed the suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts against VIP Inc. for his injuries due to the alleged negligent installation of his vehicle’s tires. After picking up his car from a Merrimack, New Hampshire, VIP location, the left rear tire came loose and Keyes lost control of the vehicle, according to the district court’s order filed Aug. 4.
