along with their respective firms as Interim Co-Lead Class Counsel.

​

On January 16, 2018, Judge Levy appointed former U.S. Senator Carl Levin and retired Michigan Circuit Judge Pamela Harwood as mediators to help settle the case.

 

Those harmed during the Flint Water Crisis who are part of the putative class action lawsuit that is pending before U.S. District Court Judge Levy in the Eastern District of Michigan should be aware of these key points:

• Class Action lawsuits do not require individuals to separately hire their own attorney.

• At this time, there is no deadline for individuals to decide whether to opt-out of the putative class action lawsuit.

• The Interim Co-Lead Class Counsel in the Flint Water Crisis case seek compensation for all members of the putative class action, which includes individuals, businesses, and homeowners.

 

In 2017, many of the firms listed above filed a complaint against the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of individuals who lodged administrative complaints against the EPA. This matter is pending before Federal Judge Linda V. Parker.
