In Massachusetts, medical malpractice claims involving hospitals, physicians, and healthcare providers are handled through the state’s civil court system, and firms must be licensed to practice locally. Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule with a 51% bar, meaning a claimant can recover damages as long as they are not more than half at fault for the incident.

Recognition in this directory is based on medical knowledge, trial experience, and a record of results in malpractice claims. Firms are evaluated on their reputation and track record with clients in Massachusetts.
