Why Would A Case Be A “Federal” Case?

There are two court systems in Vermont – the State system and the Federal system.  In personal injury cases, jurisdiction depends on the amount in controversy and the connection of the parties to Vermont.  Sometimes there can be an advantage to file in Federal Court, other times State Court is more appropriate, but more frequently a case does not qualify to be filed in Federal Court.  These are complicated issues that require legal advice to protect your rights.
