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 to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, if the injury was not discovered right away, you may have up to seven years from the date of the negligent act.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a medical malpractice case in Massachusetts?
Yes, Massachusetts requires a certificate of merit. Your attorney must obtain a written opinion from a qualified medical expert who confirms that the care provided fell below the accepted standard of care and caused your injury.
What damages can I recover in a Salisbury medical malpractice case?
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 500,000 dollars in most medical malpractice cases, though this cap can be higher in cases of catastrophic injury.
