Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Billerica Massachusetts?
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 260 Section 4 sets a three-year statute of limitations from the date of the negligent act or injury. In cases where the injury was not immediately discoverable the deadline may extend to three years from discovery but cannot exceed seven years from the negligent act.
Do I need a medical tribunal review before suing in Massachusetts?
Yes. Massachusetts requires a medical malpractice tribunal for most claims before a lawsuit can proceed. The tribunal reviews whether the case has a legitimate basis. If the tribunal finds against the plaintiff the plaintiff must post a bond to continue the case.
What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in Billerica?
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 500000 dollars for most malpractice cases unless the injury results in substantial loss of bodily function or death.
