On Sunday, December 16, 2012, Bob Flynn, host of “Talking about the Law,” and Attorney Frank Riccio discussed medical and dental malpractice cases in Massachusetts.  Focus was on the purposes of the malpractice case, what it does and does not provide in terms of compensation, the difficulties of putting together and proving a malpractice case, the inherent bars which prevent frivolous cases from being filed, including the Medical Tribunal system, the need to provide confident and qualified medical expert testimony from specialists in the field in question on both negligence and causation, and the new Massachusetts “Apology Statute” and the related “cooling off period” which is intended to promote and maintain the patient-doctor relationship and provide an opportunity for cooler heads to prevail with the settlement of these kinds of claims early, whether through the process of direct negotiation with the insurer or through more indirect approach at a Mediation with a skilled neutral.

Construction accident, auto accident, workplace accident and patients with varying illnesses in Worcester and Boston can have a bad injury or disease worsened by malpractice.
