Learn MoreWhat Your Castleton Injury Claim May Be Worth
What an injury claim in Castleton is worth turns on the severity of your injuries, your medical costs and future care, lost income and earning capacity, how clearly fault falls on the other side, and the available insurance. Under Vermont's modified comparative negligence rule (12 V.S.A. § 1036), you can recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, with any award reduced by your share. Vermont sets no general cap on compensatory damages, so a serious, well-supported claim is not artificially limited. A free review is the only way to learn what your specific case may be worth.
