• affirming that Maryland “adhere[s] to the rule that the substantive tort law of the state where the wrong occurs governs”
• finding the parties’ normal place of employment was Maryland, despite the accident occurring while the parties were in Delaware, in a company owned vehicle, for company business
• applying Maryland law to analyze whether plaintiff had stated a claim for negligent misrepresentation
• applying the MWCA when the injury did not occur in Maryland but Maryland had a greater interest in the lawsuit because the parties were Maryland residents, Maryland was their regular place of employment, and the parties made claims and received benefits under the MWCA
• \The rule of lex loci delicti is well established in Maryland. When its rationale has been put into question 'this Court has consistently followed the rule.' \
