Massachusetts hospital-acquired infections (MRSA, C. diff, sepsis) cause 100,000+ US deaths annually + are often preventable through proper infection control — strong negligence + medical malpractice claims.

Massachusetts criminal restitution requires defendants to repay victims for losses caused by the crime — mandatory in many cases, enforceable as civil judgment, often non-dischargeable in bankruptcy.
