Individual lawsuits against the state of Michigan over the May 2020 Edenville Dam disaster will be consolidated into a single class action case, which is scheduled for trial in January 2026.
A Michigan claims court judge has cleared the way for a January trial on Michigan’s liability for the collapse of a privately owned dam that unleashed widespread flooding, denying the state’s bid to end the litigation.
Defense attorney Ven Johnson said the 2020 dam collapse lawsuit scored a victory last week when a Michigan Court of Claims judge approved an expert dam witness for the plaintiffs.
