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 claim. There is also a seven-year statute of repose that applies to most cases, meaning no claim can be brought more than seven years after the negligent act.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Massachusetts?
Yes, Massachusetts requires a certificate of merit. Your lawyer must file a written statement from a qualified healthcare provider who confirms that there is a substantial basis for the claim. This helps prevent frivolous lawsuits.
What types of damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in Massachusetts?
You can 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 dollars in most cases, though this cap may be higher in cases of catastrophic injury or wrongful death.
