S97 / SOURCE-LINKED RECORD

Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 258, Section 2

Massachusetts Legislature /

Primary passage checked

Read the official statute. The $100,000 limit concerns the statutory recovery against a public employer; it is not a determination of all claimed harm. The statute also contains final-judgment language. We do not resolve its effect on other claims from a party’s reservation of rights.
