Wakeman Jr. of Adler, Cohen, Harvey, Wakeman and Guekguezian LLP, will present the defendant's perspective, in a discussion of two recent SJC decisions on the application of the Statute of Repose in medical negligence cases.
The Court held that that the clear language in the statute - "in no event"- bars claims after the expiration of seven years, even in the face of an allegation of fraudulent concealment or continuing treatment (and hence a continuing duty). Our speakers will discuss the decisions and their applications going forward.
