Where to File in Massachusetts
Massachusetts gabapentin cases are filed in the District of Massachusetts (Boston, Springfield, or Worcester) or in Massachusetts Superior Court. Suffolk County Superior Court in Boston handles complex pharmaceutical litigation. Massachusetts follows modified comparative fault with a 50% bar. The state does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. Chapter 93A consumer protection claims provide treble damages for knowing or willful deceptive practices, potentially applicable to gabapentin's off-label promotion history.
