If the parties share a common domicile, which rule applies in loss-allocation cases?

• A. The law of the place where the accident occurred.
• B. The loss-allocation rule of the common domicile.
• C. The law of the plaintiff's domicile.
• D. The law of the defendant's domicile.

Answer: (B)

When multiple tortfeasors are involved, how liability is split is governed by a choice-of-law rule for loss allocation. If all parties share a common domicile, you apply the loss-allocation rules of that shared domicile. This gives a single, consistent framework for dividing damages among the defendants, rather than pulling in different jurisdictions’ rules. The place where the accident occurred or each party’s own domicile wouldn’t determine the apportionment in this common-domicile scenario, though they might matter for other issues when there isn’t a common domicile.
