Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in Vermont?
Vermont law generally gives you three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovering compensation.
Does Vermont require car insurance and what does it cover?
Yes Vermont requires all drivers to carry liability insurance. Minimum limits are 25 thousand dollars per person for bodily injury and 50 thousand dollars per accident. You may also have underinsured motorist coverage to protect you if the at-fault driver has insufficient insurance.
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Woodstock?
First check for injuries and call 911. Then exchange information with the other driver and take photos of the scene. Report the accident to your insurance company but do not give a recorded statement without speaking to a lawyer first.
