Massachusetts Marijuana Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
MA cannabis lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Massachusetts, and 2) the severity of marijuana-related injuries.
Massachusetts State Cannabis Claims
When all parties reside in Massachusetts, cannabis lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (MA Courts Website). The Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for mental health claims attributed to dispensary marijuana.
The State of Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Massachusetts cannabis lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by growers and dispensaries provided the plaintiff is less than 51% at fault. However, the dispensary victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
1st Circuit Cannabis Claims in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is part of the First Circuit of the federal court system, and individual cannabis lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Marijuana dispensary appeals are heard by the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the psychological harm is severe, cannabis claims can be filed in this court against growers and dispensaries nationwide.
However, federal marijuana lawsuits filed in Massachusetts may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a mental health Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 1st Circuit cannabis compensation.)
