Roberto Valmont-Oliver v. Envirovantage, Inc.

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Envirovantage's motion for summary judgment. Applying Maine's choice-of-law rules, it held that Massachusetts law governed the workers' compensation immunity issue because Massachusetts had the more significant relationship to the employee's compensation and liability interests. Under Massachusetts law, Envirovantage was not immune because it did not agree to be liable for carrying workers' compensation insurance and paying benefits.
