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 you discovered the injury to file a medical malpractice claim. There is a strict seven-year statute of repose from the date of the negligent act, with limited exceptions for foreign objects left in the body.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Massachusetts?
Yes, Massachusetts requires a certificate of merit from a qualified healthcare provider. This document must state that the provider reviewed the case and believes there is a substantial basis for the claim. It must be filed within 90 days of filing the complaint.
What types of damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in Orleans?
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 for most cases, but this cap does not apply if the patient suffered substantial loss of bodily function or died.
