Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Massachusetts

This is a bit complex. And I would absolutely encourage you to bring the issue to a lawyer. As a general principle, before bringing suit, you need to send a presentment letter to the Executive in charge of the State, the State Agency, or Town from which you are seeking recovery. They have six months to respond, after which you have to file suit within three years.

There are also damage caps in certain kinds of cases. If you want to discuss this with me, you can email me at [email protected] or call my office: 617-230-2779. Though note, contacting me will not, of itself, create an attorney/client relationship.
