I thought it would be nice to dedicate my 240th post on this blog to something other than Massachusetts personal injury law, especially given the fact that a very important holiday is fast approaching. A fellow blogger, Grant Griffiths, a Kansas family law attorney, has a great post on his Kansas Family Law Blog about […]

The May 11th edition of the New England Journal of Medicine featured a story that refutes the popular belief that many medical malpractice claims are frivolous and without merit.
