$641 Flint Water Settlement in Jeopardy, Lawyer Alleges His Clients Are Being Coerced
Part of the $641 million Flint water crisis settlement might be in jeopardy.
McLaren Flint Hospital agreed to contribute $20 million to the settlement. The rest of the money is coming from the state of Michigan, the city of Flint and Rowe Professional Services.
The hospital faces lawsuits tied to deadly Legionnaires’ Disease cases after the city of Flint’s drinking water was switched. At least a dozen people died and scores more fell ill with the pneumonia-like illness. Roughly half the cases had links to the McLaren hospital.
