Litigation: Personal Injury Claims and Defense

Solving the complex problems faced by victims of serious injury

Serious personal injury can throw a victim's life into chaos. Unexpected and undeserved, it may affect the victim's ability to earn the income he or she is accustomed to and the ability to perform daily tasks that are usually taken for granted.   Personal injury (PI) may also deeply impact the victim's family and relationships. The experienced attorneys of DRM's Personal Injury Claims and Defense team know well the wide-ranging impacts on the victim's or survivor's life of the disruption and suffering of serious personal injury. A special practice within a full-service firm, lawyers on the PI team are highly skilled, yet compassionate and approachable.

Our personal injury litigators solve the problems faced by victims of serious injury with the same level of attention, commitment, and expertise that the firm brings to the problems of its business clients.

We have achieved some of the largest recoveries in Vermont. Our serious personal injury negligence work has included cases associated with:

• motor vehicles
• premises defects
• electrical appliances/facilities
• liquor liability
• industrial and agricultural activities.

We treat our clients' problems as if they were our own.

Our lawyers listen to clients and work closely with them to define and pursue strategies that are most likely to lead to positive outcomes. With a team that includes an experienced legal nurse consultant, DRM provides an exceptionally high level of day-to-day attention and service to its personal injury clients.  We explore the victim's many avenues for recourse, including insurance coverage, evaluation of liability, understanding complex medical issues including brain and spinal cord injury (link), methods for funding treatment alternatives, and alternative dispute resolution.

If pre-trial resolution is not feasible, and a case cannot be resolved on the pleadings, our attorneys defend aggressively in court.
