Medical Malpractice: Failure to Diagnose Heart Attacks
Advances in the treatment of heart disease are astounding. Modern medicine offers heart patients a variety of effective treatments that can allow many patients to live their lives with minimal impact from their disease.
Unfortunately, healthcare providers sometimes fail to diagnose
heart disease, which causes patients irreparable damage—even
death. Treatable heart conditions that are ignored by medical
providers advance to stages that result in permanent disabilities
or early death for these patients. If you suffer from a heart condition that should
have been diagnosed earlier, we can help. Berman & Simmons medical
malpractice lawyers are leaders in identifying cases in which our
clients have suffered because of failure to diagnose a heart condition. We'll
help you document your case, explore your options and recover appropriate
compensation.
The outcome in these cases often hinges on whether the medical provider
recognized the signs and symptoms of the heart condition, whether appropriate
testing was ordered and reviewed, and whether timely treatment would
have prevented death or disability. Our attorneys have relationships
with leading heart disease experts who provide the expert testimony
necessary to effectively prosecute your claim.
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 heart disease.

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.
