Medical Misdiagnosis: Failure to Diagnose Cancer
If you or someone you love suffers from cancer that you believe should have been diagnosed and treated earlier, the medical malpractice lawyers of Berman & Simmons have the expertise to help.
Patients whose doctors fail to diagnose cancer lose the opportunity to launch an early fight for their lives. Unfortunately, medical providers can overlook the signs and symptoms of life threatening cancer, causing delays in providing effective treatments. This failure can mean the difference between life and death.
In the legal profession, failure to diagnose cancer is a sub-specialty of medical malpractice, which requires its own knowledge and experience. The attorneys of Berman & Simmons have the skill to evaluate cases involving failure to diagnose cancer; and we have successfully prosecuted many types of cases, including kidney cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma and prostate cancer.
Filing Medical Malpractice Lawsuits on Time
The state of Maine has strict Statutes of Limitations, which means you must act quickly or you will forever lose the opportunity to be compensated for your losses related to a failure to diagnose cancer.

How much will our services cost?
You may be wondering how you will pay legal fees while your lawsuit is pending. The good news is—you won't pay anything upfront. We represent all medical malpractice clients on a contingent fee basis. This means we receive fees for our services only if we win. When we've successfully prevailed upon the responsible party or insurer to pay you, that's when we'll receive our payment, as well. Your lawsuit begins with a free case evaluation with a Berman & Simmons lawyer. We will thoroughly explain the details of our fee arrangement during this first consultation.
Why have so many other lawyers and Maine residents come to us over the years? The answer is simple: we get outstanding results.
