The Montana Supreme Court says a state District Court has jurisdiction to hear a medical malpractice lawsuit filed by the widow of a member of the Salish and Kootenai Tribes against a physician and a Polson clinic.
The ruling overturns a decision by District Judge Ted Lympus that dismissed a lawsuit Diane Morigeau filed against David Gorman, M.D. and the Polson Family Medical Clinic over the February 2003 death of her husband, Ben Morigeau.
