What is the statute of limitations for medical negligence in Massachusetts?

Answer 1

the statue in Mass is three years.

I used to work in a legal office for a Massachusetts hospital, and two of the best and most aggressive med mal lawfirms in Boston are "Lubin & Meyer" and "Sugarman & Sugarman" (< not sure if the exact spelling on these but it's a good start).

Answer 2

In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for medical negligence is three years from the date the injury occurred or the date it was discovered, but no more than seven years from the date of the negligent act, unless the case involves a foreign object left in the body, in which case the deadline is within two years of discovering the foreign object.

Civil Rights case are an example of federal and state laws that have to work together.
