Shortly before jury selection, Mr. Gennarelli successfully settled a medical malpractice case for a man in his 60s against a New York City and Long Island health care provider for $1,800,000.00. This case centered around a nurse practitioner who prescribed Trazodone to the patient without informing him of the associated risks or suggesting alternative medications that carried less risk. Consequently, the patient developed a priapism, leading to permanent sexual dysfunction. In this instance, the nurse practitioner initiated treatment with Trazodone and failed to advise our client of the drug's risks, nor did she provide alternative treatments that could have mitigated the risk of priapism. Less than 24 hours after taking the medication, the patient experienced a painful and prolonged erection that would not subside. By the time he realized the severity of the situation and sought medical assistance later that day, irreversible damage had occurred, resulting in a permanent injury. This incident was entirely preventable. If you experience a priapism lasting longer than four hours, it is crucial to seek medical help immediately. We have been handling Trazodone injury cases for over a decade.

A major New York City metropolitan hospital, where residents and physicians prescribed Trazodone to a patient, agreed to pay $825,000 in a medical malpractice settlement.

A major New York City metropolitan hospital, where residents and physicians prescribed Trazodone to a patient, agreed to pay $825,000 in a medical malpractice settlement. The claim arose from allegations that its physicians and staff failed to inform the patient about the risks associated with Trazodone or provide any alternative medications that posed less risk. Consequently, the patient developed a priapism. In this case, the treatment plan implemented by the residents and physicians at this NYC hospital did not include adequate communication regarding the risks of Trazodone. Even more concerning, the patient was not offered alternatives with similar therapeutic effects that would not lead to the risk of a male developing a priapism. One night, after taking the medication for about a week, the patient experienced an erection but did not connect it to the use of Trazodone. He went to sleep, and upon waking the next morning with an erection accompanied by severe pain, he realized something was amiss and sought treatment at another hospital. This ultimately led to surgery and left him with residual sexual dysfunction, making this incident entirely preventable. If you develop a priapism that lasts longer than four hours, it is crucial to seek medical assistance immediately.
