This morning, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit  affirmed an order that employees of the Navajo Nation fall under the Federal Tort Claims Act. The main issue on appeal was the extension of Federal Tort Claims Act coverage pursuant to the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. In this personal injury case, the district court's opinion was upheld, holding the United States Government liable for damages. Creed & Gowdy handled this appeal with its co-counsel, Coker, Schickel, Sorenson, Posgay, Camerlengo & Iracki. You can read the opinion here.
