Dr. Anderson University of Michigan Sex Abuse Lawsuit

For over 3 decades, Dr. Robert Anderson sexually abused countless students and patients at the University of Michigan, while administrators did nothing. In 2023, the University agreed to a $490 million settlement to resolve claims by some of Dr. Anderson’s former victims. Although the deadline to participate in this settlement has now expired, Michigan may be passing a new law that will give more of Dr. Anderson’s victims the change to bring their own claims and get financial compensation.

In Oakland County, Michigan, a jury awarded a $130 million settlement on behalf of a boy suffering from cerebral palsy. The jury found two medical technicians liable for causing the child’s severe and permanent brain damage that resulted in cerebral palsy. The $130 million incident was one of the largest jury settlements in Michigan history.
