Nine Law Firms Involved In Handling Matters Relating To The Incident, But Settlement Recently Reached.
Recent news articles report that Michigan State University’s legal costs relating to the Larry Nassar scandal—involving gymnasts—now top more $11.3 million, although this figure likely is higher because it did not capture bills for some months in 2018 which are still in the pipeline. Nine firms have been billing on the matter. Mr. Nassar himself is or will be serving the rest of his life in jail based on federal and state sentences. MSU has a rock painted to honor those coming forward in this scandal.
Plaintiffs’ attorneys and the MSU legal team agreed to mediate, and the latest news is that MSU reached a settlement to pay $500 million to 332 alleged victims.
