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 lawsuit. However there is an absolute seven-year limit from the date of the negligent act for most cases. Exceptions exist for foreign objects left in the body and for minors.
Do I need a medical malpractice lawyer in Rowley for a small case?
Massachusetts requires all medical malpractice claims to go through a special tribunal before trial. This panel reviews whether your case has a legitimate basis. An attorney can help you prepare the required affidavit and expert testimony. Even small cases benefit from legal guidance to meet these procedural rules.
