Frequently Asked Questions
Our toddler drowned in the bathtub because the baby sitter left him alone and went to grab some toys. We know she didn't mean for anything to happen, but we still want to take legal action against her for the wrongful death of our child. Do we have any rights to take legal action against her in Massachusetts?
