BOARDMAN, Judge.

Charles Kenneth Steele, plaintiff below, appeals a final summary judgment entered in favor of appellees/defendants Southern Truck Body Corporation and Avis Rent-A-Car System, Inc., and their insurers following the trial court's ruling that Florida law, rather than the law of West Virginia, the state where the accident involved here occurred, was the applicable law on the issue of damages. We disagree with this ruling and therefore reverse.
