Chuck Hadden is a partner in Ross, Dixon & Bell, LLP’s Washington, DC office. He joined the firm in 1984, left to serve as the Labor Department’s Deputy Associate Solicitor for Special Appellate and Supreme Court Litigation for two years, and rejoined the firm in 1990.
Mr. Hadden has extensive experience advising carriers on a wide variety of insurance coverage issues and representing them in coverage litigation, both at the trial and appellate levels. He is co-chair of the firm’s General Liability Practice Group and most frequently deals with mass tort, asbestos, environmental, and general liability claims, bad faith suits, and punitive damages issues. He has been chosen to serve as National Coordinating Counsel for insurers handling mass tort and asbestos claims and to fill in for several months as head of one client’s Strategic Claims unit.
Mr. Hadden has briefed and argued cases in every federal court of appeals and numerous state supreme and appellate courts, has worked on dozens of United States Supreme Court cases, and has appeared in a variety of state and federal trial courts. For example, he successfully argued on behalf of a group of 50 insurers the appeal of a landmark case seeking to hold the insurance industry directly liable for thousands of asbestos injuries. And in Transportation Insurance Co. v. Moriel, 879 S.W.2d 10 (Tex. 1994), he persuaded the Texas Supreme Court to institute a wholesale reform of the standards and procedures by which Texas awards punitive damages and won reversal of a seven-figure insurance bad faith judgment.
Mr. Hadden published an article entitled “Transportation Insurance Company v. Moriel: Texas Restricts Grounds for Punitive Damages,” Coverage, Vol. 4, No. 2 (March/April 1994), and was a contributing author to Occupational Safety and Health Law (Stephen A. Bokhat & Horace A. Thompson, III, eds. 1988).
Mr. Hadden was a long-time member and chair of the firm’s recruiting committee and regularly speaks at law schools on interviewing tips and techniques.
