Statute of Limitations
Vermont imposes a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (12 V.S.A. § 512). The discovery rule applies. Vermont courts apply Daubert reliability standards under V.R.E. 702. Vermont's 3-year SOL provides a more favorable filing window than most states, and the state's discovery rule may further extend timelines for latent cancer diagnoses.
