The Miller Law Firm, as Co-Lead Counsel, succeeded in securing final approval of a $54 million settlement in a class action lawsuit filed against defendants Wolverine Worldwide, Inc. (“Wolverine”) and The 3M Company (“3M”). This settlement was reached after more than five years of litigation after Plaintiffs filed suit on behalf of a class of property owners alleging that their properties were harmed by water contaminated with high levels of PFAS chemicals. PFAS are hazardous to humans and remain in the soil and groundwater for decades. The lawsuit alleged that Wolverine illegally dumped waste-containing PFAS compounds produced by 3M throughout Kent County and subsequently contaminated the surrounding soil and water supply. As a result, the affected property owners could not use their water for everyday purposes – such as drinking, cooking, and bathing – and Plaintiffs maintain that they experienced a decline in their property values. This $54 million settlement has provided meaningful relief to these property owners.
