Robert M. Higgins Having achieved the Commonwealth’s largest personal injury award — a $40 million dollar verdict for a baby brain damaged at birth — Robert Higgins has become one of the state’s top trial attorneys with a specialty in medical malpractice. Higgins’ unrivaled verdict was followed by his obtaining two additional record-setting awards in 2008 — a $14.5 million award for the failure of doctors to diagnose and treat an infection leading to the death of 40 year-old woman and a $13.5 million verdict for the failure of doctors to diagnose and treat abdominal compartment syndrome leading to the death of a 30 year-old woman. Higgins is also known for securing the largest jury award in Plymouth County — a $19.8 million verdict for a doctor’s failure to diagnose cervical cancer as well as his $7.2 million award for a doctor’s failure to diagnose breast cancer. In addition to his unprecedented jury awards, Higgins has also negotiated over $75 million in medical malpractice settlements on behalf of his clients in just the last 7 years. In 2008, Higgins received the distinction of being named a Top 100 Super Lawyer by Boston Magazine — having previously been recognized by the publication as a Massachusetts Super Lawyer in both 2007 and 2006 and a Super Lawyer Rising Star in 2005. Higgins was further recognized in 2008 by being selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America®, the universally regarded definitive guide to legal excellence, and his inclusion was featured in the Boston Globe Magazine. Higgins has consistently maintained an AV rating — the highest rating for legal ability and ethical standards — from the well-respected national directory of lawyers, Martindale Hubbell. Higgins is a frequent guest lecturer for the Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education organization, The Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys and Suffolk University Law School. Additionally, Higgins provides legal analysis and commentary for local news stations on topics related to medical malpractice and jury trials. A 1991 graduate of the University of Maine, Higgins received his Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School in 1994. He is licensed to practice in both the federal and state courts of Massachusetts and his professional memberships include the Boston Bar Association, Massachusetts Bar Association and the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys. Higgins is a member of the Board of Trustees of Boston College High School.
