In what is potentially the first case of many of its kind, JPMorgan Chase, Boyce Hydro Power and several other defendants were slapped with a class action on Tuesday in Michigan Eastern District Court. The suit alleges the defendants caused the destruction of property due to mass flooding, citing the May 19, 2020 breach of the Edenville Dam. The court case was brought by Sommers Schwartz P.C. on behalf of a Saginaw County resident, and those who find themselves similarly situated.
On May 19, 2020, the Edenville Dam, an embankment dam located in Gladwin and Midland Counties, Michigan, failed, resulting in catastrophic flooding to areas located downstream. The Edenville Dam failure was so extreme that another dam downstream, Sanford Dam, suffered damage and was also breached, causing areas further downriver to suffer flooding.
