USC Offers $215 Million Over Sexual Abuse Claims

October 22, 2018

usc sexual abuseLast Friday, the University of Southern California (USC) agreed to pay $215 million in damages after dozens of patients filed lawsuits accusing longtime campus gynecologist Dr. George Tyndall of sexual abuse. Thesettlement would provide at least $2,500 to any student treated by Tyndall over the course of his 30-year employment at the university student health center.

As many as 17,000 students and alumnae qualify for this federal suit. Those willing to come forward about the sexual abuse they experienced may also be entitled to additional compensation up to $250,000.

Tyndall has adamantinely denied any wrongdoing and claims that his medical examinations were always within the medical standards of care.

In 2017, Tyndall was fired for misconduct after reaching a settlement deal. This was followed by an internal investigation into allegations of sexual harassment. He is currently being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department, but no criminal charges against the doctor have been filed at this time.

Other University Sexual Abuse Cases

This is one of the latest settlements involving accusations of sexual misconduct perpetrated by employees of a college or university.Michigan State University agreed to a $500 million settlement after 300 victims were sexually assaulted by sports doctor Larry Nassar in May of this year. More than $100 million was paid out by Penn State to victims sexually abused by assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

    • A friend of mine recommended Phillips Law and I’m so grateful, because they were so wonderful, so down to earth, so professional. I felt like they were family.
    • Phillips Law Group has a proven track record of success. Juan Roque, in particular, is integral to that. He works with integrity, compassion, and an undefeated optimism that makes him a valuable asset.
    • I didn’t know anything about the area, and Phillips Law Group just took care of everything. They helped made sure I knew where I was going, made sure I didn’t have to worry. They literally just took care of me.
    • Jasmine , did a great job . Highly recommend!!!!!
    • Sophia H. at Phillips Law Group has been an absolute joy to work with -quick, responsive, and professional in every interaction. Her breadth of knowledge, from administration to IT to finance, is nothing short of impressive.
    • I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!
    • Thank you Phillips Law Group for all the support and back to school assistance we appreciate it.
    • Phillips law group is a great firm! Caroline is great.
    • Phillips is the best!! Love all that they do to give back to the community and how much they help those who are experiencing homelessness. ❤️
    • I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!
