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. There is an absolute seven-year limit from the date of the negligent act, except in cases of foreign objects left in the body.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a medical malpractice claim in Massachusetts?
Yes, Massachusetts requires a certificate of merit. Your attorney must obtain a written opinion from a qualified medical expert stating that the care provided fell below the accepted standard of practice and caused your injury. This must be filed within 90 days of filing the lawsuit.
What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in Medford?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Massachusetts caps non-economic damages at 500,000 dollars in most cases, but this cap does not apply to cases involving permanent and substantial loss or impairment of a bodily function.
