No legal process can undo a devastating loss, but families deserve answers, accountability, and clear guidance. When a loved one's death may have been caused by another party's negligence or misconduct, families are often left grieving while also facing financial burdens and questions they didn't expect.

Early steps can include preserving records, identifying the parties who may be responsible, and understanding the financial and family impact of the loss. In Michigan, a wrongful death claim is typically filed by the personal representative of the estate on behalf of eligible family members, and counsel can manage communications with insurers and other parties when appropriate.

The initial review may look different depending on how the loss occurred. A motor vehicle collision may involve crash reports and witness accounts, while a workplace incident, medical event, or unsafe property may call for records, safety standards, and expert input specific to that setting. Because Michigan law sets deadlines for these claims, families are encouraged to seek prompt, confidential advice.

Attorney Todd Flood joined The Pulse on FOX 2 Detroit to discuss the latest developments in Flood Law’s ongoing civil rights litigation involving Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility.

Flood Law represents hundreds of current and former inmates in lawsuits alleging systemic privacy violations, inadequate medical care, toxic conditions (including mold), and other failures by the Michigan Department of Corrections. Issues include the use of body-worn cameras during private moments such as strip searches, medical appointments, and even childbirth, as well as broader concerns about medical neglect.

The discussion highlights the continued need for transparency and accountability.

Some injuries heal in weeks, while others change how a person works, lives, and cares for their family. A catastrophic injury is typically one that results in long-term or permanent disability, and these matters often look very different from a routine injury claim.

Because the effects can extend far into the future, these cases usually call for a more comprehensive strategy, including detailed medical documentation, projections of future care, analysis of lost earning capacity, and an understanding of how the injury affects the entire family. Attorneys often work with medical specialists, life-care planners, economists, and vocational experts to present those needs accurately.

A serious fall or motor vehicle collision that creates ongoing care needs is one example. Insurers may contest long-term projections in cases like these, which is why Flood Law prepares catastrophic injury matters with the discipline required for trial. It's a process that benefits from early organization.

A Prison Sentence Should Not Be a Death Sentence.

Todd Flood recently joined FOX News Detroit to talk about the mold crisis at Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility.

Women incarcerated there have described mold covering showers, dripping from ceilings, and growing in air vents—conditions linked to serious health problems. A federal appeals court just allowed key parts of the related lawsuit to move forward against MDOC leadership, including Director Heidi Washington.

As a former prosecutor and founding attorney of Flood Law, Todd shares his perspective on the conditions, the legal fight, and the need for accountability.

"Michigan State can't get out of its own way"

Todd Flood joined Kevin Dietz on WJR’s All Talk to discuss Michigan regulators saying MSU broke the law by waiting 17 months to report sexual assault claims against former medical resident Arpit Saxena.

After a patient reported an assault in April 2025, MSU removed Saxena from patient care but did not notify the state licensing agency within the 30-day window required under the Michigan Public Health Code. Reporting only happened in September 2026—after he was dismissed, and a Title IX process found policy violations.

Todd joined because these reporting rules exist to protect patients. When a university delays notifying state regulators about sexual misconduct allegations involving a physician, it can leave others at risk and undermine the oversight system designed to stop predators from continuing to practice. With his background as a former prosecutor and work on high-profile institutional failure cases, Todd breaks down the legal obligations and why timely reporting matters.

A strong legal strategy should be matched by clear communication, and at Flood Law, we consider both essential to representing a client well. We're selective with our cases so that each client can receive hands-on service from a full team, and clients work directly with experienced attorneys rather than being routed through call centers or third-party intake services.

Clients often want to understand different things at different stages. After an initial consultation, the focus may be what happens next and what information to gather. During negotiations, it's often how the process works and what to expect along the way. Before litigation begins, many clients want to know what filing a lawsuit involves and what will be asked of them.

Our team aims to explain case milestones, respond to questions, outline next steps, and connect each client with the attorney or team member best positioned to help.

When the legal process feels uncertain, clear communication matters. Read more about Flood Law's approach to client care at floodlaw.com/about.

No woman should have to give birth in front of a camera.

Flood Law has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging that Michigan corrections officers stayed in Natalie Forrest's hospital room with body cameras recording through her labor, delivery, and recovery. The suit also alleges an officer told her mother that taking a photo of the newborn would add two years to Natalie's sentence.

According to the complaint, MDOC leaders had been warned in writing weeks earlier that filming undressed women broke Michigan's felony voyeurism law.

"Giving birth should be one of the most private moments of a woman's life. Instead, Natalie Forrest labored in front of cameras that MDOC's own leadership had been warned, in writing, were being used illegally. This case is about accountability." — Todd F. Flood

Forrest, et al. v. Barksdale, et al. (E.D. Mich.). The claims are allegations and have not been proven in court.

Survivors deserve to be heard, treated with dignity, and given clear information about their legal options. At Flood Law, a confidential consultation begins with listening. From there, our attorneys can discuss the survivor's goals, the records that may exist, which individuals or institutions may bear responsibility, and how timing may affect the path forward.

Many of these cases involve more than one party. When a school, hospital, workplace, or other organization had notice of misconduct or failed to put safeguards in place, our team may organize timelines, communications, internal policies, and corroborating records to help establish what the institution knew and how it responded. A civil claim is separate from a criminal case and may proceed even if criminal charges haven't been filed.

Throughout the process, our approach centers on compassion, confidentiality, and disciplined preparation, with care taken to respect each survivor's privacy.
