Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

Medical malpractice is a complex area of personal injury law where the burden of proof is very high. It occurs when a medical provider fails to provide the expected level or type of care that other providers have offered. Some of the most common types of medical malpractice our legal team handles include:

• Misdiagnosis of conditions, even with obvious signs
• Surgical site errors
• Failing to diagnose a condition quickly, resulting in complications
• Failing to provide proper care and aftercare after discharge
• Birth injuries occurring prior to, during, and after delivery
• Prescribing or administering the wrong medication to a patient
• Improper management of anesthesia prior to or during surgical procedures
• Misreading or misinterpreting lab results

In each of these cases, we determine if medical malpractice occurred based on the circumstances. For example, we must demonstrate that this provider owed you a duty of care and that they breached that duty of care by not providing the type or level of expected medical care that others with their same experience would have offered. This must have led to your accident and resulting injuries.

How Long Do I Have to File a Medical Malpractice Claim in Massachusetts?

Medical malpractice claims in Massachusetts typically settle out of court. However, visits must adhere to the statute of limitations if they must file a lawsuit against a medical provider. In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations is three years from the date of the incident or from the date the incident was discovered.

However, there is also a seven-year reprieve. This means that victims have no more than 7 years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. This can complicate the legal process for those who may not learn about the losses for some time. The sooner you take action to speak to a Salem, MA medical malpractice lawyer, the better it may be for your future.
