Sensory injuries are sometimes overlooked but can be life-altering. Vermont law recognizes their serious impact.
How These Injuries Happen
Head trauma, airbag deployment, blasts, and penetrating injuries can damage vision or hearing. Some losses appear immediately; others develop over days as swelling or nerve damage progresses.
The Lasting Toll
Loss of sight or hearing affects work, independence, and quality of life permanently. Claims should account for assistive technology, accommodations, and the profound non-economic impact of sensory loss.
Proving Causation
Specialist evaluations connect the loss to the accident and quantify its permanence, which is central to valuing this kind of claim.
