New Laws Affecting Medical Malpractice Cases in Massachusetts
Statistics show that Massachusetts has the fourth-highest median malpractice settlement payments in the nation, but the recent approval of a new law may reduce the value of medical malpractice lawsuits. Governor Deval Patrick just signed into law a new health care cost containment bill called Disclosure Apology and Offer, and this law will bring widespread changes for hospitals and patients alike. Under this new law, a “cooling off” period will be required before an injured patient can file a medical malpractice lawsuit against a practitioner or medical corporation such as a hospital. During this six month period, both sides will have a chance to negotiate a malpractice settlement so that a lawsuit does not have to be filed. Interestingly enough, Massachusetts is seen as the “model state” for Obama’s health care law as it became the first state in the nation that requires every resident to obtain health insurance. The new law is expected to save the state approximately $200 billion in health care costs over the next 15 years, and is actually the second step this year that Massachusetts has made to control medical malpractice costs. Back in April, seven hospitals throughout the state announced a “Road Map to Reform” plan that was focused on preserving patient rights and ensuring the fair compensation of injured patients. The doctors and nurses at these seven hospitals will start fully disclosing medical mistakes to the hospital and to their patients. The hospital will then investigate the root cause of the injury to determine if the caregiver, hospital policy or medical systems were to blame. If it is found that the caregiver is at fault, they will apologize and the hospital will work with medical malpractice insurers to determine a fair compensation amount. One of the ways that the new Disclosure Apology and Offer law is expected to reduce costs is by avoiding the costs ofmedical malpracticelitigation, and the goal of this law is to settle an amount of compensation by negotiating with the patient. If you are a patient who has been injured because of the negligence of a medical professional, it is important to enlist the help of a personal injury lawyer before you accept a compensation offer from a hospital or insurance company. Even though the state is making great strides to help those who have suffered a medical malpractice injury, you must be careful to not accept a compensation offer that is less than you deserve. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you evaluate the long-term costs of your injuries by seeking expert counsel from other medical professionals, and this will ensure that you are not shorthanded by a compensation offer.
