Buckfire Law Firm is representing 20 Michigan and Ohio residents in a case against a Detroit steam company for severe burns caused by manhole steam. The plaintiffs range from 3 to 71 years old,  with 4 of the victims being children. This claim alleges the steam company failed to warn citizens about the dangers of the steam and take appropriate action to maintain the system.

A lawsuit against Detroit Thermal and other energy companies didn't properly maintain their systems that moved steam through the city when more than 20 people were severely burned by the vented mist. After one man was knocked off his motorcycle in 2018, he landed on a manhole cover that branded letters into his leg because it was so hot.

State and county officials pegged damage estimates from last month's historic flooding in Mid-Michigan at a staggering $175 million.Mixed into that are thousands of residents and businesses dealing with individual losses. Three weeks after the Edenville and Sanford dams broke, residents and business owners continue working feverishly to put their lives back together.

This week, Midland County saw record high water levels that resulted in two dam failures and a catastrophic flash flood.Hundreds of people found their homes flooded or even gone.
