    Carroll, an employee of Alabama Great Southern Railroad Company, was injured while working in Mississippi. Carroll filed a case in Alabama, whose laws would have allowed for recovery. However, the court determined that Mississippi law applied, as the injury occurred there, and Mississippi law barred recovery in this case. Therefore, neither Alabama's tort law nor its worker's compensation law could be applied to the case.
