The attorneys at the law office of Bergeron, Paradis & Fitzpatrick can explain Vermont injury law in simple terms to help people understand their legal options.
A claim for personal injury or bodily injury is a claim that results from an injury you sustain as a result of someone else's negligence or willful misconduct. If you have been hurt in a car accident, construction accident, by a hazardous condition on someone else's property, by a defective product, or by medical malpractice, you may have the right to recover money damages from the person or company who caused your injury. Damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, and property damage can be collected in a personal injury suit or settlement. Our Vermont personal injury lawyers have years of experience in securing favorable results for our clients who have been injured. If you or a family member has been injured, please contact us for a free consultation.
The injured party in a lawsuit is the plaintiff. The person or company causing the injury is the defendant. The lawyers at Bergeron, Paradis & Fitzpatrick only represent the injured party. As the plaintiff's attorney, we will work to negotiate a settlement with the party that caused your injury, or their insurance company. If we are unable to achieve an adequate settlement through negotiation, we will file suit in the appropriate court of law, where we will resolve your case through mediation or through a jury trial.
The attorney plays an important role in presenting evidence required to prove your injuries and damages. As experienced personal injury lawyers, we have an excellent working knowledge of the law in Vermont, familiarity with all the courts and experience in presenting the evidence needed to prove your case before a jury.
