You Were a Patient of Robert Hadden

According to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, the Manhattan Supreme Court, and federal prosecutors, Hadden sexually abused patients, including multiple minors, in various prestigious Manhattan hospitals for over 20 years.

The investigations discovered that he sexually assaulted a countless number of female patients since beginning his medical practice.

Hadden recorded tens of thousands of patient visits, and used his position of power as a licensed doctor to sexually abuse women under the guise of medical care.

If you experienced sexual misconduct, assault or abuse at an appointment with Robert Hadden, contact a lawyer immediately.

You Were Lured to Cross State Lines

A concern some victims have when it comes to filing lawsuits is that they’re not from New York, where Hadden practiced as a gynecologist for over 20 years.

Robert Hadden Convicted

Residence is irrelevant when it comes to sexual abuse and the New York Adult Survivor’s Act.

Whether you’re from New York or not, you need a lawyer who can file your case promptly and correctly, and support your needs as a survivor of sexual abuse.

Contact our law firm to file a claim and join the civil litigation against the institutions that protected Robert Hadden.

Columbia University or Its Affiliated Hospitals Tried To Settle Your Sexual Abuse Case

The university was quick to cover up the crimes Hadden pleaded guilty to.

The university offered financial settlements to several of Hadden’s victims that came forward to report his behavior.

In exchange for the settlement, victims had to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that supposedly barred them from taking legal action or speaking out publicly.

Columbia University Sexual Abuse Lawsuit

The arrangement is outrageous and Columbia’s actions are shocking, especially when considering the limitations of an NDA.

Under various jurisdictions including New York City, NDAs are not enforceable when they prohibit the reporting of criminal activities.

In other words, an NDA from Columbia University will not hold up if it prevents a person from bringing Hadden’s crimes to light.
