Residents of Chicopee, Massachusetts and bordering communities of Springfield, Holyoke, South Hadley and Ludlow have easy access to major health care institutions such as Baystate Medical Center, Holyoke Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center, which is part of the Trinity Health of New England System.
When you are harmed by a doctor because of medical malpractice, it is doubly devastating because you trusted the doctor to help you but the error worsened your condition or created new health problems. When you are a patient you have the right to expect that your doctors will adhere to the appropriate standards of care for their profession. Medical malpractice cases require proving that the medical professional was negligent in acting outside the standard of care, and that the negligence caused the harm to the patient.
Medical malpractice cases consist of many complex and intertwined issues. They require specialized expert witness testimony and extensive preparation. Atty. Shute is dedicated to putting in the necessary work to obtain the compensation you deserve.
Misdiagnosing, delaying in diagnosing, providing the wrong drug or the wrong dosage of a drug, errors made in surgery and post-surgery are just some examples of potential medical malpractice cases. Just as the field of medicine is vast, each medical malpractice case has its own patient-specific details that require investigation and analysis.

I was hit by a hit and run vehicle as pedestrian. I went through the motions as instructed by the proper people. Hiring an attorney was not something I had realized I needed to do. After being in the Dr's office overwhelmed by the paperwork and pain someone said, your Attorney will do that for you. So I went on a hunt. If you are looking for an Attorney who you can actually talk to on the phone, Attorney Shute is your guy. He was always very professional and he explained everything in a way I always understood. He is patient, a good listener and aware of my injuries making me comfortable. I don't hesitate to tell people he's a great choice. And oh yes, we won my case.
