In an ongoing commitment to support victims of sexual abuse, our firm, led by Thomas Giuffra, Esq., is at the forefront of a significant legal battle aimed at holding medical professionals and institutions accountable. Recently, we filed a comprehensive lawsuit on behalf of John Doe, a victim of alleged sexual abuse by Dr. Darius A. Paduch, a physician previously affiliated with New York and Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medicine.
This legal action addresses the disturbing allegations that John Doe was sexually exploited and abused by Dr. Paduch during his treatment at the medical facilities operated by the aforementioned institutions. The complaint, lodged in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, details how Dr. Paduch, under the guise of medical treatment, allegedly engaged in inappropriate and unconsented sexual acts with Mr. Doe, profoundly impacting his psychological and emotional well-being.
The lawsuit further alleges that the involved institutions failed to supervise Dr. Paduch adequately and did not take necessary steps to protect their patients from potential abuse. This lack of oversight raises serious concerns about the safety protocols and vetting procedures within such prestigious medical entities, pointing to a broader issue of institutional accountability in preventing abuse.
Our legal team has presented multiple claims under New York law, including negligence, negligent hiring, and supervision, as well as direct allegations of sexual assault and battery against Dr. Paduch. These claims are not only aimed at securing justice for John Doe but also at prompting systemic changes within the institutions to prevent such egregious violations from occurring in the future.
Cases like these underscore the vital role of legal advocacy in addressing and rectifying instances of abuse within trusted institutions. It is imperative that victims know they are not alone and that they have legal avenues to seek redress and hold perpetrators accountable. Our firm is committed to navigating the complexities of such sensitive cases with the utmost care and professionalism.
If you or someone you know has experienced similar misconduct, it’s crucial to come forward. Our team at Survivors of Abuse NY is here to provide the support and legal expertise needed to pursue justice and healing.
