Personal Injury in Vermont

In Vermont, you may hold another person responsible for personal injury if you can prove that they were negligent and were directly responsible for your injuries. However, that person is only required to cover the amount of personal injury that is his or her fault, so if you were more than 50 percent responsible for your accident, you may not collect any personal injury money in Vermont. If you can prove negligence, you can receive payments for your medical expenses, lost wages, and any emotional or mental problems that stem from your injury.
