What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Westfield Cost?

These costs can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case. This information is general and not legal advice.

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 the date you discovered the injury to file a lawsuit. However, there is an absolute deadline of seven years from the date of the negligent act, except in cases of foreign objects left in the body or fraud.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a medical malpractice case in Massachusetts?
Yes, Massachusetts law requires your attorney to file a certificate of merit with the complaint. This certificate must be signed by a qualified medical expert who confirms that there is a reasonable basis for the claim. This rule helps prevent frivolous lawsuits.
What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in Westfield?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Massachusetts does not cap non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, but there is a cap on punitive damages in certain circumstances.
