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 to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, if you did not discover the injury right away, you have three years from the date of discovery, but no more than seven years from the date of the incident. This is called the statute of repose.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a medical malpractice case in Massachusetts?
Yes, Massachusetts requires a certificate of merit in medical malpractice cases. Your lawyer must obtain a written opinion from a qualified medical expert stating that there is a substantial basis for the claim. This must be filed within 90 days of the start of the lawsuit.
What types of damages can I recover in a Dartmouth medical malpractice case?
You may recover economic damages like 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 medical malpractice cases, though this cap can be higher in cases of catastrophic injury or death.
