What is the time limit to file a workers compensation claim in Vermont?
In Vermont you generally have six months from the date of injury to file a claim with the Department of Labor. For occupational diseases the time limit is two years from when you knew or should have known the disease was work related. Missing these deadlines can bar your claim.
Can I choose my own doctor for a workers comp case in Colchester?
Vermont law allows you to choose your own treating physician for a workers compensation injury. You do not need to see a company doctor. However the insurance company may request an independent medical examination to evaluate your condition.
What benefits can I receive through Vermont workers compensation?
You may receive medical benefits for all reasonable and necessary treatment. You can also get temporary total disability benefits at two thirds of your average weekly wage up to a state maximum. Permanent impairment benefits and vocational rehabilitation are also available in some cases.
