Case Details
A 66 year old New Mexico man received what may be the largest medical malpractice verdict ever in the United States. The jury awarded him $412,000,000 in damages for injuries suffered when he was persuaded to undergo penile injections that destroyed his penis. The injured man’s lawyers argued that he had been misdiagnosed and tricked into receiving unneeded injections. Over $375 million of the damages were punitive damages intended to punish the defendant clinic for fraud.
Additional Notes
Includes $375 million in punitive damages. Defendants plan to appeal, likely seeking reduction of punitive damages.
