Summary

A New Mexico jury awarded $412 million in a medical malpractice case against NuMale Medical Center, marking the largest U.S. malpractice award to date.

The case involved a 66-year-old man who suffered irreversible damage from unnecessary penile injections prescribed under a scheme to exploit patients for profit.

Jurors found the clinic’s actions fraudulent, negligent, and in violation of the Unfair Practices Act.

The plaintiff’s attorneys hope the verdict deters similar misconduct. NuMale disputes the ruling and plans to appeal.
