Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Vermont?
In Vermont, you generally have three years from the date of the injury or two years from when you discovered the injury, whichever is earlier. However, no lawsuit can be filed more than seven years after the incident. This is called the statute of limitations.
What types of cases do medical malpractice lawyers handle in Essex Junction?
They handle cases involving surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and failure to obtain informed consent. Vermont law requires that the claim be reviewed by a medical expert who confirms that the care provided fell below accepted standards.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a medical malpractice case in Vermont?
Yes, Vermont law requires that your attorney file a certificate of merit with the complaint. This certificate must include a statement from a qualified medical professional who has reviewed the case and believes there is a reasonable basis for the claim.
