Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, you generally have three years from the date of the injury or from when the injury was discovered to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, there is an absolute deadline of seven years from the date of the negligent act, with limited exceptions for foreign objects left in the body.
Do I need a medical malpractice lawyer in Agawam for a minor injury?
It is wise to consult a lawyer even for minor injuries because Massachusetts has a special law requiring a tribunal review of your case before it can proceed to court. A lawyer can help determine if your injury meets the legal standard of negligence and whether filing a claim is worthwhile.
What damages can I recover in a Massachusetts medical malpractice case?
You may recover economic damages such as medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Massachusetts caps non-economic damages at $500,000 in most cases, though the cap may be higher for cases involving permanent loss or death.
