Attorney Travis M. Brennan takes on some of Maine’s most complex and high-stakes cases, representing people affected by medical malpractice, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, defective products, and serious trucking crashes.

As a shareholder at Berman & Simmons, Travis has secured significant verdicts and settlements for his clients, including a record-setting $23.1 million medical malpractice jury verdict for a man left permanently paralyzed due to medical negligence. His experience also includes trying six cases to juries in five different Maine counties in a single year.

Behind that courtroom experience is a commitment to understanding each client personally, including how an injury has affected their health, family, work, and future.

When the stakes are high, Travis brings preparation, determination, and a strong record of advocacy to the people he represents. https://bit.ly/3TddzRz

10/15/2026

Berman & Simmons has 11 attorneys and more than 40 legal professionals working together on behalf of injured people and families throughout Maine. For complex cases, that can mean working with leading experts, using technology to explain difficult evidence, conducting detailed investigations, and preparing for the possibility of trial from the outset.

That depth matters when the other side is a major trucking company, hospital, insurer, government entity, or other well-funded defendant.

Our clients come to us during some of the most consequential periods of their lives. We build their cases accordingly. https://bit.ly/48cH4aV

The birth of a child should not result in a family facing questions about whether a serious injury could have been prevented.

Birth injuries can take many forms. Brachial plexus injuries may cause weakness or paralysis in a baby’s arm. Cerebral palsy can result from certain brain injuries occurring before, during, or shortly after birth. Improper use of forceps can also cause serious harm, including skull fractures, bleeding, or seizures.

For families, the effects of a birth injury may mean ongoing medical care, therapy, and uncertainty about their child’s future.

Berman & Simmons represents Maine families in complex medical malpractice cases involving serious birth injuries. When questions arise about the care provided during labor or delivery, our attorneys work to understand what happened and whether medical negligence played a role. https://bit.ly/3WRCvMp

A serious legal matter is deeply personal to the person living through it.

At Berman & Simmons, we believe clients deserve to feel heard, respected, and supported throughout their case. That means taking the time to understand their concerns, keeping them informed, and recognizing that the impact of an injury or loss reaches far beyond the legal issues involved.

Strong advocacy matters, but so does how clients are treated along the way. We are proud to provide both. https://bit.ly/4icLdPp

Three lives lost. Two family members injured. Now, two families are seeking answers and accountability.

Berman & Simmons attorneys Travis M. Brennan and Charles P. Hehmeyer have filed a wrongful death and product liability lawsuit following the 2025 capsizing of a Sea-Doo Switch pontoon boat on Flagstaff Lake.

According to the complaint, the boat capsized while traveling at approximately six miles per hour in reportedly calm conditions. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants knew of a capsizing risk and that a previous safety recall failed to adequately correct the alleged defect.

Cases involving potentially dangerous products and devastating loss require careful investigation and experienced legal advocacy. Berman & Simmons is representing these families as they pursue accountability for a tragedy that changed their lives forever. https://bit.ly/4rAYVjw

Some personal injury cases involve more than recovering from an injury. They involve permanent disability, lifelong medical needs, the loss of a career, or the death of someone a family depended on.

Those are the cases where experience with the highest stakes matters.

Since 1914, Berman & Simmons has represented people across Maine in complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, medical malpractice, serious truck crashes, and wrongful death. Our team has recovered more than $1.5 billion for our clients.

When the consequences will last a lifetime, we build cases with the resources, preparation, and trial experience they demand. https://bit.ly/48cH4aV

A serious truck crash can create losses that continue long after the initial medical bills arrive.

For someone facing a catastrophic injury, compensation may need to account for future surgeries and rehabilitation, ongoing care, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and expenses associated with living with a permanent disability.

But financial losses are only part of the picture.

Maine law may also allow recovery for the human impact of an injury, including pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of normal activities, and permanent impairment, scarring, or disfigurement.

At Berman & Simmons, we look beyond what a truck crash has already cost our client. We work to understand what the injury will mean for their health, work, independence, and quality of life in the years ahead.

For life-altering injuries, the full impact matters. https://bit.ly/3V8faW7

Medical malpractice insurance is an important part of Maine's system for addressing harm caused by medical negligence.

Healthcare providers in Maine may be required to maintain malpractice insurance to provide coverage when a patient suffers injuries and pursues a medical malpractice claim. Coverage requirements can vary based on the type of healthcare provider and the nature of the medical practice, with higher-risk specialties potentially carrying greater levels of coverage.

Why does this matter to an injured patient?

In a serious medical malpractice case, understanding available insurance coverage can be an important part of evaluating the claim and determining potential sources of compensation, particularly when the negligence results in permanent disability, extensive future medical needs, or other catastrophic losses.

Berman & Simmons has decades of experience investigating complex medical malpractice cases throughout Maine. We look closely at every aspect of a claim to understand what happened, who may be responsible, and what resources may be available to our client. https://bit.ly/46gKTJA

A pedestrian struck by a vehicle suffered a devastating injury that resulted in the loss of a limb.

Berman & Simmons secured a $10 million settlement on our client's behalf.

In cases involving permanent, life-altering injuries, the impact reaches far beyond the immediate medical treatment. The consequences can affect mobility, independence, the ability to work, future medical needs, and nearly every part of daily life.

Our job is to make sure those consequences are fully accounted for when pursuing a result for our client.

Berman & Simmons has spent more than 100 years representing seriously injured Mainers and their families. When the harm is catastrophic, we have the experience and resources to take on high-stakes cases. https://bit.ly/47qWYfX
