Can I Get Punitive Damages In My Case?

Usually not – but it depends on the facts of the case and most juries don’t award them anyway.  Punitive damages are allowed in a civil suit but under a very limited type of circumstance. In Vermont, it is rare for punitive damages to be awarded. Punitive damages are essentially a civil fine that is assessed by a jury as punishment for a wrongdoer and are different than consequential damages such as pain, suffering, loss of income, medical expenses, etc.

We handle cases all over the State of Vermont – in Bennington, Burlington, Brattleboro, Rutland, Woodstock, St. Albans, Montpelier, Manchester, Springfield, the Northeast Kingdom and anywhere else where there is jurisdiction in the State of Vermont.
