The landowners claimed the power companies' operation of the Kerr Dam caused damages to the landowners' property. The lawsuit is captioned Mattson, et al. v. Montana Power Co., et al., No. DV-99-548A. The Court certified the class which includes the following group of landowners: All persons and entities (other than the United States, the defendants, and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation, Montana) that have since November 9, 1991 to December 1, 2006, owned real property either: i) with frontage on the shoreline of Flathead Lake in Flathead County or Lake County, Montana, or ii) which contains a bank of the Flathead River located in Flathead County, Montana, south of the point at which Lower Valley Road (east of U.S. Highway 93) intersects with the Flathead River, or both.

A class settlement with MPC and its insurer National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA was previously approved by the Court on August 19, 2015.
