A federal judge granted preliminary approval on Thursday to USC's landmark $215-million settlement with former patients of Dr. George Tyndall.
Under the terms of the settlement, the approximately 17,000 women treated during the physician’s three-decade career would each be eligible to receive between $2,500 and $250,000. The amount would depend on the severity of the misconduct alleged and the women’s willingness to detail those experiences in writing or in interviews.
“The settlement provides every affected individual the opportunity for a fair and respectful resolution, and it contains additional reforms that will build upon the impactful changes we have already made to strengthen our university,” Austin said.Tyndall is part of the settlement, but under the approved terms he will not contribute to the payout to the women or their attorneys, and he will not admit liability or wrongdoing. The gynecologist still faces.
Within the next month, former patients of Tyndall identified through USC records will receive formal notices about the settlement terms. Those already suing in state court have until November to decide whether to opt out of the settlement. Of the class-action settlements’ top possible award of $250,000, Arias said, “I think that number is significantly lower than most cases out there that have resulted in settlements for this type of conduct.”
