Where to File in Vermont
Vermont gabapentin cases are filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont (Burlington or Brattleboro) or in Vermont Superior Court. Vermont follows modified comparative fault with a 50% bar. The state does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. Vermont's Consumer Protection Act (9 V.S.A. § 2451 et seq.) provides additional theories for pharmaceutical claims. Vermont's small jury pools tend to be well-educated and attentive to evidence.
