Medical Malpractice: Failure to Treat
Modern medicine offers hope for many victims of serious illness. With
the proper treatment, many patients enjoy a return to full health or
suffer minimal impacts from their disease. Unfortunately, a misdiagnosis
of a serious illness, resulting in incorrect treatment, or simply a
failure to properly treat a medical condition robs the patient of the
opportunity to combat disease, which can result in debilitating injuries
or death.
Medical professionals are expected to follow accepted standards of care, as defined
by the other members of their profession and specialty. Failure to treat results
when a physician fails to properly investigate, test or follow up properly to
identify a patient's condition.
If you or a loved one has suffered the consequences of a medical practitioner's failure to properly treat your condition, we can help. At Berman & Simmons our medical malpractice lawyers have the knowledge, experience and resources to demonstrate what treatment you should have received, according to medical standards, and how proper treatment could have been effective. While no monetary recovery can ever bring a person back to the health they once enjoyed, we can help you recover an appropriate monetary award.
Our trial attorneys have extensive experience with medical malpractice claims involving the failure of healthcare providers to properly treat a medical condition.
Timing is everything—don't delay if you have a potential medical malpractice claim
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 treat your condition.

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 failure-to-treat 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.
