An enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation has filed a suit in the Cherokee Nation Court against Smith Kline Beecham, an international drug company. The suit alleges that the tribal member was severely and permanently injured when she ingested the drug Avandia, which is used in treating diabetes. The defendant has filed a brief claiming the Cherokee Nation does not have jurisdiction in this matter.
The plaintiff's attorney, Todd Hembree, Esq., has filed a response in the tribal court. This case is worth watching as the defendant will fight tribal jurisdiction aggressively.
For more details about this case, please contact Mr. Hembree at hembreelaw1@aol.com or 918-453-0101.
