Medical malpractice harms thousands of Massachusetts residents every year — through misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and hospital negligence. Patients are dismissed, told their complications are expected, or made to feel that speaking up is wrong. Boston's hospital system is among the largest and most complex in the country, and the patients who carry the highest risk of receiving inadequate care are often those with the least access to advocacy. Insurance companies for hospitals and physicians often use delay, denial, and intimidation tactics against patients. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
Boston Medical Center — the city's largest trauma center and the primary safety net hospital serving Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan — handles one of the highest volumes of vulnerable patients in New England. Tufts Medical Center serves the South End and surrounding communities. We know these facilities, the standards they are held to, and how to hold them accountable when they fall short. Those failures cause real damage to Boston families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Hospitals and their insurers across Massachusetts often use delay and denial tactics and make patients feel like they have no case. The medical establishment is well-funded and organized to protect itself. We know how to leverage the justice system in Suffolk County Superior Court to fight back. You were already failed once. That won't happen again.
IMPORTANT MASSACHUSETTS LEGAL INFORMATION — MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Statute of Limitations: 3 years from the date the injury was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered (MGL c. 260 § 4). Hard cap of 7 years from the date of the negligent act, with limited exceptions.
Tribunal Requirement (Critical): Massachusetts requires a medical malpractice case to be reviewed by a malpractice tribunal before proceeding to court. This adds procedural steps that must be handled correctly from the start.
Expert Affidavit: An affidavit from a licensed physician supporting the claim is often necessary.
Damage Caps: Massachusetts does not cap economic damages. Non-economic damages (pain and suffering) are capped at $500,000 in most cases.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies for hospitals and physicians may make early low offers and may use delay, denial, and intimidation to make patients feel like their case is not worth pursuing. Massachusetts does not cap economic damages in malpractice cases, and cases involving permanent injury can result in significant recoveries. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full value of what was taken from you.
