Hi,
I am sorry to hear about this. These cases are very hard to win in Massachusetts. If it can be shown the doctor(s) deviated from the standard of care, and that the damages arose from the breach of the standard of care, then it would be a case worth pursuing. Unfortunately, these cases are tough to win at trial.
