Statute of Limitations
Vermont's personal injury SOL is 3 years (12 V.S.A. § 512(4)). Elder abuse claims follow the same 3-year period. Vermont does not impose noneconomic damages caps in personal injury cases, making it favorable for elder abuse claims with substantial pain and suffering components.
