About Paul Anderson

Paul D. Anderson is a partner at Popham Injury Law with a background in NFL and NCAA concussion litigation, mass tort class actions, and catastrophic injury cases. His legal career began at The Klamann Law Firm, where he collaborated with Dirk Vandever and Ken McClain to recover millions for injured athletes and retired NFL players. Shortly after passing the bar, he secured a landmark $1.2 million settlement for the family of Derek Sheely in a wrongful death brain injury lawsuit against the NCAA. Before turning 30, Paul had recovered over $30 million for his clients. He later spearheaded class action lawsuits that compelled the power tool industry to enhance abrasive-wheel safety. Paul graduated summa cum laude from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law in May 2012. He created the nationally recognized website NFLConcussionLitigation.com and was described by Forbes.com as 'one of the nation's leading experts on concussion law.' He has served as an adjunct professor at UMKC and the University of Kansas, teaching concussion litigation, cannabis law, and sports law.
