What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider deviates from the accepted standard of care that other reasonable medical professionals would provide under similar circumstances, resulting in injury to the patient. This standard represents the level of care, skill and treatment that is recognized as acceptable and appropriate by reasonably prudent health care providers in the same field.
To successfully prove a medical malpractice claim in Massachusetts, four essential elements must be established:
- Duty: The health care provider owed you a professional duty of care through an established doctor-patient relationship.
- Breach: The provider failed to meet the accepted standard of care through action or inaction.
- Causation: The breach directly caused your injury or made an existing condition worse.
- Damages: You suffered actual harm, whether physical, emotional or financial.
It is important to understand that medical malpractice is not simply a bad outcome or an unsuccessful treatment. Medicine involves inherent risks, and even skilled healthcare providers cannot guarantee positive results. A poor outcome alone does not constitute malpractice unless it resulted from a clear deviation from accepted medical standards.

What Damages Are Available To Medical Negligence Victims?
Medical malpractice affects victims far beyond the initial injury, creating lasting consequences that impact every aspect of their lives.
- Emotional toll: The psychological impact of medical negligence can be devastating, with victims often experiencing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress and a profound loss of trust in health care providers. The emotional trauma of knowing that a trusted medical professional caused additional harm can persist long after physical wounds heal.
- Financial burden: The economic consequences of medical malpractice can be overwhelming, including substantial medical bills for corrective treatments, ongoing care, rehabilitation, lost wages and diminished earning capacity. Long-term care expenses, specialized equipment and home modifications may become necessary, creating ongoing financial strain for victims and their families.
- Loss of quality of life: Noneconomic damages address the intangible losses that money cannot easily quantify, including pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of previously loved activities, disfigurement and permanent disability. These damages recognize that victims have lost more than just money – they have lost their ability to live life as they once did.
We understand that no amount of compensation can undo the harm caused by medical negligence. However, pursuing fair compensation helps ensure you receive the resources needed for recovery and holds negligent health care providers accountable for their actions.
