Portland, ME Surgical Error Attorney
When Surgery Goes Wrong, We Step In
Surgery is supposed to fix a problem, not create a new one. When a surgical error, wrong-site surgery, or wrong medical procedure leaves you or someone you love injured, it can feel like the ground has dropped out from under you. You trusted your surgeon and the hospital, yet something went terribly wrong.
At Berman & Simmons, we represent patients and families who have been harmed by preventable surgical mistakes in the Portland area and across Maine and beyond. As a civil trial firm with more than 100 years of success, we know how to uncover what happened and pursue accountability.
If you are searching for a surgical error attorney Portland because you suspect malpractice, you do not have to sort through medical records and hospital explanations on your own. We offer free, confidential consultations, and if we take your case, there are no upfront costs.

Why Choose Our Trial Team
Surgical malpractice is complex. Hospitals and surgeons often have powerful defense teams and insurers working to protect them from responsibility. You need a firm that is fully prepared to take your case into a Maine courtroom if that is what justice requires. Our attorneys have tried more civil jury cases in Maine than any other firm, including high-stakes medical malpractice matters.
Our history and results are not abstract. Over more than a century, our trial teams have achieved some of the largest verdicts and settlements in the state. This record means we understand how to present complicated medical evidence, question surgeons and other providers, and explain surgical errors to juries in a way that is clear and compelling.
When you work with a surgical error lawyer in Portland at our firm, you do not get a single person working in isolation. You get a collaborative group of attorneys and staff who share their knowledge and experience. We use modern trial technology, detailed medical analysis, and focused preparation so that hospitals, surgical centers, and insurers know we are ready for trial.
