Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 260 Section 4 gives you three years from the date of the injury or from when you discovered the injury. However, the statute of repose sets an absolute seven year limit from the date of the negligent act, with some exceptions for foreign objects left in the body.
What must be proven in a medical malpractice case in Massachusetts?
You must show that the healthcare provider failed to meet the accepted standard of care for their profession in Massachusetts. You also need to prove this failure directly caused your injury or harm. A medical expert witness is usually required to support your claim.
