Attorneys for three of the students wounded during the 2023 shooting at Michigan State University announced Tuesday a several million dollar settlement for their injuries, pain and suffering.
The settlement comes more than two years after a gunman opened fire at the university, killing three students and injuring five.
In a statement, law firms Grewal Law and Gruel Mills Nims & Pylman said the settlements – totaling $29.75 million – would bring closure to at least some of the survivors.
Nathan Statly was shot in the head, resulting in brain injuries requiring extensive medical treatment and ongoing care. He will receive $14.25 million.
Yukai “John” Hao was left paralyzed from the chest down after being struck by a bullet in his back. Hao will receive $13 million, with the university agreeing to waive tuition, room and board, and provide health insurance throughout the completion of his undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Troy Forbush was shot in the chest and suffered a serious lung injury, requiring surgery and extensive rehabilitative therapy. He will receive $2.5 million.
“Grewal Law and Gruel Mills Nims & Pylman are honored to assist in obtaining justice for these remarkable young men,” the firms said in a statement.
In response, university spokesperson Amber McCann offered condolences to the students injured in the shooting, as well as their families and loved ones.
“While the university cannot comment on any specific settlements, we truly hope reaching a resolution helps provide some measure of relief, support and care to impacted individuals and their families,” McCann said.
