Parents of Flint kids suing EPA can have lawyers present during water crisis case interviews

FLINT, MI — The parents of four children who claim they were damaged by Flint water during the city’s water crisis will be able to have an attorney present when they discuss their child’s brain functions with an expert retained by the federal government.

U.S. District Court Judge Judith E. Levy made the ruling during a court hearing on Monday, March 10, as attorneys for the children and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prepare for a January bellwether bench trial.
