MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER
SELYA, District Judge.
This is a personal injury action brought by a Massachusetts resident against a Rhode Island corporation; jurisdiction is apparently based on diversity of citizenship pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332. 1 The case is before the Court on defendant’s motion for summary judgment. In its motion, the defendant contends that the action is time-barred by R.I.G.L. § 9-1-14 2 because it was commenced more than three years after accrual of the cause of action. The plaintiff’s objection is based on his assertion that the action was timely instituted.
