New Mexico Man Wins Record $412M in Medical Malpractice Case

The unprecedented verdict stems from misdiagnosed treatments involving invasive penile injections that caused irreversible harm.

A New Mexico jury awarded $412 million to a man in a medical malpractice case involving NuMale Medical Center, marking the largest such payout in U.S. history.
The plaintiff, now in his 70s, sought treatment in 2017 for fatigue and weight loss but was misdiagnosed and subjected to unnecessary penile injections.
The injections caused irreversible damage, leaving the man impotent and with severe physical complications, according to court documents and his attorneys.
Jurors found NuMale Medical Center guilty of fraudulent and negligent practices, including pressuring patients into unnecessary treatments for profit.
NuMale Medical Center, which operates in multiple states, has stated its intent to appeal the verdict while maintaining its commitment to patient care.
