Introduction
At GGH Law, we understand the sense of betrayal and the trauma inflicted on survivors of sexual abuse by medical professionals. Institutions once thought of as pillars of society now face questions about decades of unaddressed misconduct. Whether in private practice or at major university hospitals, the doctors cited in these stories have much in common: a tragic number of their cases including being reported to administrators who then failed to act. Survivors are bravely stepping forward to tell their stories.
One significant instance involves civil cases brought against Dr. Reginald Archibald and Rockefeller University Hospital for years of abuse. His abuse was enabled by a series of well-documented failures by the institution to act on prior knowledge of his misconduct. Patterns that resemble Archibald’s have emerged in the cases of Dr. George Tyndall at the University of Southern California, Dr. Robert Hadden at Columbia University, and others.
Across the nation, lawsuits name a variety of institutions and a number of individual doctors. Among them:
Hospitals and universities:
- Rockefeller University Hospital
- University of Southern California
- Columbia University Medical Center
Doctors accused of abuse:
- Dr. Reginald Archibald
- Dr. Robert Hadden
- Dr. Ricardo Cruciani
- Dr. George Tyndall
- Dr. Stuart Copperman
It is the legal responsibility of medical institutions—hospitals and universities, for instance— to shield their patients from harm. When medical institutions hire, supervise, or retain an abusive doctor, they become part of a team that allows the doctor to continue causing harm.
Your Legal Rights as a Survivor
Recent years have seen many new laws passed that provide opportunities for survivors to get justice. These laws are designed to tackle the problems that survivors face when they finally decide to disclose their abuse—sometimes many years after the fact.
In order to make institutions take responsibility for their negligence, we need punitive damages. We will make sure that every single thing that you have endured is recognized.
We know how hard it is to step forward and tell your story. At GGH Law, we work with people like you, offering compassionate and professional legal representation. We fight the tough fights because we believe you deserve the justice that too many people are denied.
What can I recover?
Nothing can bring back what was lost as a result of the sexual abuse that you or a loved one suffered. But under the law and in civil court, the remedy you are entitled to is financial in nature.
In a civil court, when a lawsuit is filed, the individual bringing the lawsuit (the plaintiff) is entitled to damages if they are successful. Damages can include economic damages resulting from the sexual abuse—like medical or therapy bills—but they can also include non-economic damages, which include past, current, and future emotional distress; past, current, and future diminished quality of life; and pain and suffering resulting from the sexual abuse.
You never pay out of pocket.
