Travis Brennan
Berman & Simmons - Lewiston
Lewiston,
 ME

Attorney Travis Brennan is a highly skilled and accomplished trial attorney who represents clients in claims involving medical malpractice, wrongful death, personal injury, and defective products. He is currently part of a coalition of four prominent law firms assembled to represent victims and their families associated with the tragic shooting incident on October 25 in Lewiston, ME.

Travis is a fierce competitor with a tireless work ethic who is committed to standing up for people who have been wronged or injured through no fault of their own. He thrives when tackling complex challenges and facing powerful opposition, including government agencies and insurance companies.

Travis recognizes that every client is unique. He listens carefully to clients to understand the events related to their case, the nature of their injuries, and the different ways they have been impacted. This enables Travis to develop a successful legal strategy and serve as a strong and passionate advocate for his clients.

Clients across Maine have entrusted Travis with some of the most complex and catastrophic personal injury cases resulting in death, amputation, paralysis, blindness, traumatic brain injury, and complex fractures. He has handled medical malpractice claims involving surgical errors, misdiagnosis, delay in diagnosis, medication errors, and system failures.

“I love helping people. I am committed to fighting for my clients every step of the way to achieve the best result.”

Travis has achieved among the largest jury verdicts and settlements in complex and difficult cases throughout Maine, including a $17.5 million settlement in 2023 for a client arising from catastrophic injuries that left him permanently disabled. In September 2022, he won a $5,000,000 unanimous jury verdict on behalf of a man who now has permanent neurologic deficits because medical providers negligently overlooked his warning signs of a life-threatening condition. This case is notable for being the first civil jury trial in Cumberland County since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the pandemic stopped civil jury trials in most of Maine, Travis won jury trials in five different counties across the State of Maine in 2019 alone.

Travis’ representative verdicts and settlements include the following:

  • $17.5 million settlement for a client arising from catastrophic injuries leaving him permanently disabled.
  • $9.25 million settlement for a client who was paralyzed because of a delay in diagnosis.
  • $7 million settlement for a client
  • Greater than $6,000,000 settlement for a client arising from medical providers’ delay in diagnosis of cancer.
  • $5,000,000 jury verdict on behalf of a client who suffered permanent neurologic injuries caused by a delay in diagnosis.
  • $5,000,000 settlement for a client arising from medical providers’ delay in diagnosis of cancer.
  • Greater than $4,000,000 settlement for a client arising from permanent injuries caused by a surgical error.
  • Settlement of $2,500,000 for a client arising from a permanent nerve injury caused by a dental procedure.
  • Greater than $1,700,000 settlement for a client arising from permanent injuries caused by a surgical error.
  • $1,500,000 settlement in a wrongful death case.
  • $1,200,000 jury verdict in a medical malpractice case in Aroostook County arising from a patient’s permanent leg injury caused by a hospital’s negligence in failing to diagnose and treat serious, ongoing internal bleeding.
  • $848,000 jury verdict in a medical malpractice case in Penobscot County on behalf of a lobsterman against a surgeon and hospital for a botched hernia repair.
  • $729,000 jury verdict on behalf of a Machias farmworker who nearly died and developed permanent injuries from working conditions that caused him to develop heat stroke.

When this Maine native is not preparing for his next trial, he serves as a volunteer firefighter in his local town—a passion he developed nearly two decades ago when he became a firefighter and EMT. Travis’ other interests include running and enjoying the Maine outdoors with his wife, daughter, and rescue dogs.
