How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Vermont?
Vermont law gives you three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit under 12 V.S.A. § 512. However, it's important to consult with an attorney much sooner, as evidence can disappear and witness memories fade over time.
