What is the Statute of Limitations for filing a wrongful death claim in the State of Vermont?
The general rule is that a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed within 2 years of the date of death. There are important exceptions to this rule, however. For example, if the death resulted from an accident at a ski area, a one-year statute of limitations would apply. It is important that you consult with experienced counsel as soon as possible to protect your rights under Vermont law.
