How Much Time Do I Have to File a Lawsuit in Burlington?
If you are unable to receive the settlement you deserve for your whiplash injury in Burlington, you may have to file a lawsuit against the insurer or at-fault party. In Vermont, victims generally have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit and seek damages as per Vermont Statutes Title 12, §512. The time starts ticking down on the day of your accident and injury. Filing your lawsuit on time is critical as, once the statute has passed, your case will most likely get thrown out, leaving you unable to pursue compensation.
Can I Receive Whiplash Compensation if I Was Partly Responsible for the Crash?
According to Vermont’s comparative fault laws, you could still receive compensation when partially responsible for a crash, provided you are no more than 50 percent at fault. However, your degree of fault will reduce the amount you can receive for compensation. Hiring a lawyer can be critical when you are partially responsible for an accident. The other side may try to assign you an unfair degree of fault to stop you from pursuing adequate compensation.
