Description
This appeal stems from a product liability action filed in Wayne Circuit Court. Plaintiff, an administrator of a North Carolina estate, seeks to recover wrongful death damages arising from an accident involving an allegedly defective Ford automobile purchased and registered in North Carolina. The accident occurred in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and took the life of a North Carolina resident. Ford Motor Company is a Delaware corporation whose world headquarters are located in Michigan. The issue before us is whether Michigan law or North Carolina law governs this lawsuit. We apply Michigans interest analysis choice of law rule and hold that North Carolina law applies. Accordingly, we reverse the decision of the circuit court.
