The University of Michigan recently announced a $490 million settlement for thousands of student-athlete victims that were abused by the former school and athletic team doctor, Robert E. Anderson, between the years of 1966 to 2003. Van Wey, Metzler, & Williams is currently investigating cases against the University of Michigan for the decades-long documented sexual abuse by the now deceased and former director of University Health and Services and athletic team physician, Robert. E. Anderson.

This settlement represents the latest in a pattern of high-profile universities that ignored and allowed predatory doctors, coaches, and high-ranking staff members to prey on unsuspecting students and athletes.

Student-athletes abused by Dr. Anderson who have suffered with the physical and mental consequences of inappropriate and unlawful examinations that were known and covered up by the University of Michigan for many years, deserve to be represented by a law firm with attorneys that can give them a voice and take on the legal system. We can help the survivors seek justice from a system that has failed them. Our team of attorneys is ready to help any victims who have yet to come forward fight for their right to justice.

To discuss the specifics of your sexual abuse lawsuit, please contact us for a free and confidential consultation.

Why Our Clients Trust Us

"I honestly don’t believe I could have gotten a better result with any other lawyers"

April of 2023, we finally reached a conclusion to the case and it was wildly successful by all accounts from those I know who live this profession in and out, every day. I can’t lie; "winning" my case didn’t make my loss less painful or my world bright and shiny. But having a team of attorneys that care and that explored every avenue of redress helped me feel like I was heard and valued and that my loss was unique and individual and worth pursuing. I honestly don’t believe I could have gotten a better result with any other lawyers. It’s not easy and it’s never simple to fight a system legally entrenched to quash due process in cases of potential culpability. The good news is, I didn’t have to. Luke and the folks at Van Wey, Metzler, Williams did the hard work and heavy lifting. I would recommend their representation without hesitation!
