Home » Dr. Hadden Lawsuit: Who Can File A Claim?
Robert Hadden has been criminally convicted on federal sexual abuse charges.
He faces life in prison.
While Hadden will soon be behind bars, victims of the predator OBGYN are eligible to file suit against Columbia University and its affiliates.
You may be eligible to file a Dr. Hadden lawsuit claim if you or a loved one suffered sexual abuse while being treated by disgraced OBGYN Robert Hadden.
Our law firm has been the leader in civil litigation against Columbia and its affiliates for enabling and allowing Robert Hadden to sexually abuse patients.
We’ve secured two settlements from Columbia for victims, totaling over $236 million.
With the New York Adult Survivor’s Act being enacted, new lawsuits against Columbia are being filed.

Dr. Robert Hadden, a former Columbia University and New York Presbyterian Hospital-affiliated gynecologist, sexually abused countless women under the pretext of medical care for over 20 years.
In 2016, after a two-year-long investigation, Robert Hadden was charged with multiple sex crimes but evaded prison time and was placed on the lowest tier of the sexual offender’s list.
The forgoing of a prison sentence was due to his confession before the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and surrendering his medical license.
The shocking nature of the crimes, coupled with the extremely lenient sentencing, opened the floodgates for the horror stories of adult survivors under his care.
The number of women coming forward culminated in civil lawsuits filed against Columbia by the DiPietro Law Firm on behalf of the victims.
These civil actions, led by our firm, resulted in over $236 million paid to victims by Columbia University and its affiliates.
In January 2023, federal prosecutors of the Manhattan Federal Court found former Columbia University gynecologist Robert Hadden guilty of multiple counts of sexual abuse, and he now faces life in prison.
Hundreds of former patients have already come forward, including multiple women who were minors when they saw Hadden and women who were pregnant when they saw Hadden.
These victims have attested to forcible touching and other acts of sexual abuse from the former Columbia University gynecologist.
If Robert Hadden victimized you, you are eligible to file a lawsuit.

Many women have reached out and asked if they needed to be residents of New York to file their cases.
If you’re wondering the same thing, the answer is no.
You can be from outside New York and file a claim.
Robert Hadden has been criminally charged with enticing and inducing victims to travel to his New York medical offices, with a number of victims being coerced into traveling from outside the state of New York to be seen at his practice.
Before 2022, New York had a statute of limitations for sexual abuse and sexual assault.
Under the old laws, the statute of limitations was two years for a misdemeanor like forced touching.
For federal charges or felonies involving sexual abuse, the statute of limitations was longer, lasting five years.
Under the old statutes, more than 150 sex abuse victims have filed lawsuits and won.
However, many others were ineligible to file lawsuits against the now-defamed Robert Hadden due to the expiration of their claims.
That changed in November 2022.
On November 24, 2022, the New York Adult Survivors Act was enacted.
Under the newly passed Adult Survivors Act, survivors of sexual abuse can file lawsuits against their abusers regardless of when the abuse occurred.
With the new law taking effect retroactively, Hadden’s past victims are eligible to file lawsuits.
It doesn’t matter if the criminal sex act occurred in 1987 or 2021.
Everyone victimized by Robert Hadden can file suit.
If you or a loved one suffered sexual abuse by Robert Hadden, you are eligible to file a legal claim anonymously.
In addition, those who witnessed Hadden’s abuse are encouraged to share their stories or reports about what they’ve seen or heard.
