Learn MoreWhat Your Chittenden Injury Claim May Be Worth
No two Chittenden claims are valued the same. The drivers are your injuries and prognosis, the medical bills and ongoing treatment, wages and future earnings lost, the strength of the liability evidence, and the insurance in play. Vermont's modified comparative negligence standard (12 V.S.A. § 1036) lets you recover unless you were more than 50% at fault, reducing the award by your percentage. With no general damages cap in Vermont, a strong claim can be pursued for its full worth — a free case review puts a realistic number on yours.

Chittenden Personal Injury FAQs
It depends on your injuries, medical costs, lost income, the strength of the liability evidence, and available insurance. Because Vermont has no general damages cap, a serious claim is not artificially limited. A free review gives you a realistic picture.
Even seemingly minor injuries can lead to lasting problems and mounting bills. A free review costs nothing and helps you understand whether legal help makes sense before you accept an insurer's offer.
Get medical attention first, even if you feel fine. Then document the scene if you safely can, keep records of every bill and missed workday, avoid recorded statements to insurers, and contact us for a free review.
Vermont generally allows three years from the date of injury (12 V.S.A. § 512). Claims involving a government entity can carry shorter notice deadlines, so it is wise to act quickly while evidence is fresh.
Vermont follows modified comparative negligence, so you can still recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your share of fault, which makes a careful liability investigation important.
