Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Massachusetts?

However, if the injury was not discovered right away, the deadline may be extended to three years from the date of discovery, but no more than 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 law requires that your attorney file a certificate of merit with the complaint. This certificate must include a written opinion from a qualified medical expert stating that there is a reasonable basis for the claim of negligence.
What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in Massachusetts?
You may recover economic damages such as past and future medical expenses 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 situations.
