Learn MoreWhat Your Woodford Injury Claim May Be Worth
No two Woodford 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.
