NEW YORK — The DiPietro Law Firm, led by renowned Patient Safety Attorney Anthony T. DiPietro, announces a landmark $750 million settlement today for 576 patients who filed lawsuits against Columbia University, The New York-Presbyterian Hospital, their Trustees, affiliates, and insurance carriers for a decades-long cover-up of patient sexual exploitation by disgraced OB/GYN Robert Hadden. This extraordinary result pushes the total amount secured by The DiPietro Law Firm on behalf of victims and survivors to over $1 billion since 2012, marking a record achievement in litigation of this nature. Attorney Anthony T. DiPietro’s commitment to holding institutions accountable for covering up misconduct has once again been demonstrated by his use of strategic litigation against Columbia University that has lasted over 13 years. The DiPietro Law Firm is now turning their focus to cases involving hundreds of men and boys who were exploited by another predator physician, Urologist Darius Paduch, who also practiced at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the Weill Cornell Medical Center, and in the Northwell Health System until his arrest in 2022.
