Northampton, Massachusetts is a vibrant arts and entertainment community. The Academy of Music, the Smith College Botanic Garden and Museum of Art (Free every second Friday of the month) are just a few of the many favorite destinations here.

Attorney Shute is an experienced, local attorney. He has been dedicated to obtaining financial compensation for personal injury victims for over 25 years. He knows that medical malpractice errors are traumatizing for both the patient and the patient’s family. These cases are among the most complex and require an experienced, detail-oriented attorney. You trust your doctor to use his or her expertise, skills, and diligence. You were not expecting to be injured by a medical professional. When you or a loved one is injured with life-altering permanent consequences, you need an attorney who will work hard to hold the medical providers accountable for their carelessness. Their insurance companies will try to make light of the harm or claim that nothing went wrong –it just happened. In some instances, insurance companies will defend the negligence of the doctor by claiming that you, the patient, did something wrong to cause the problem. It is woefully unfair for you to have to handle the burden of medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost wages now and in the future because of the negligence of a medical provider.

Free Consultation
Attorney Shute offers a Free Consultation to address your concerns and have your questions answered. Call him today because there is a “statute of limitations” which is a time limit for filing a case. One of the hardest news for a lawyer to tell a client is that they may have had a claim for medical malpractice, but it is too late because of the statute of limitations.

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.

Attorney Shute helped me through a difficult legal process after I was injured in an auto accident. Although the case was complex, he carefully, methodically and patiently advised me over all the hurdles that were placed in our path. Even the smallest accidents can be traumatic and legal nightmares. Attorney Shute traveled to my home to meet with me while I was injured and so traumatized I was unable to drive. He is smart, capable, and accessible. I recommend him very highly to anyone in need of expert personal injury advice.

Medical Malpractice is Negligence

Medical malpractice occurs when the medical professional failed to adhere to the accepted standard of care or practice of the medical profession and in so doing caused harm to the patient. What the standard of care should be and whether the medical professional breached the standard of care requires the testimony of an expert in the same specialty. These cases often come down to a battle of the experts.

The victim of serious medical malpractice needs to have his or her case fully investigated and every aspect of harm detailed. Full knowledge of the legal process involved in a medical malpractice case is of utmost importance. When medical malpractice happens to a loved one or a minor child, both compassion and strong representation are required. Attorney Shute values his clients as real people striving to return to their lives who deserve honest hard-working representation.
