Even good drivers are at risk of being involved in a traffic accident in Vermont. Indeed, traffic crashes are a top cause of harm in our state, with the Vermont Department of Public Safety reporting that there are dozens of car accident fatalities every year in our state. At the law office of Sabbeth Law, we have years of experience working on car accident cases and know what’s necessary to win claims like these. If you have been in a serious crash, please don’t hesitate to call our Randolph law firm directly for the guidance and support you need during this difficult time.

Types of Motor Vehicle Accident Cases We Work On

Our experience has primarily been catastrophic injury cases resulting from truck and commercial vehicle accidents, but we have also worked extensively on motor vehicle accident claims and are experienced in claims involving single-vehicle crashes, including rollovers; multi-vehicle crashes, such as pile-ups; head-on crashes, rear-end crashes, side-swipe accidents, T-bone collisions, and more. In addition to standard passenger car and commercial vehicle accidents, we also work on bicycle, motorcycle, and pedestrian accident claims, too.

Determining Fault in a Randolph Car Accident

One of the  most important roles of a lawyer in a car accident claim is that of determining fault for the crash. This matters because in Vermont, which is an at-fault car insurance state, drivers who cause accidents are responsible for paying for them, typically through their required liability insurance coverage. 

Fault for a crash is based on negligence or negligence per se. The first, negligence, refers to the failure to act with the same duty of care that a person of ordinary prudence would exercise in the situation. For example, it may be negligent to drive the speed limit during a rainstorm or a blizzard, or it might be negligent to apply make-up while driving.

Negligence per se, on the other hand, is the violation of a statute or law. Driving while impaired, violating the speed limit, or using a handheld device while driving are all examples of negligence per se. 

When a driver’s negligence or negligence per se results in a crash, the driver can be held liable for any damages that result.

Damages Recoverable in a Randolph Car Accident Claim

The range in severity of damages that are possible in a crash depends greatly on the amount of force involved in the crash (dependent on speed and mass of the vehicles involved), the angle of collision, the safety features of the vehicle and how they were utilized (i.e. were occupants wearing their seatbelts at the time of crash?), and more. At the office of Sabbeth Law, we want our clients to know that we will aggressively fight for your right to your full compensation amount. Types of damages that may be recoverable in your car accident claim include:

  • Compensation for all of your medical expenses: 
  • Damages for the value of your lost wages and loss of earning capacity;
  • Compensation for noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering; and
  • Damages for the value of your property damage expenses.
