Wrongful Death
__________________
In Vermont, when a person or company is at fault for causing a death, the surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for a range of losses including companionship, physical training, care, nurture, and protection. As trusted wrongful death lawyers in Vermont, we have years of experience holding at-fault parties accountable and seeking justice for family members with wrongful death claims. In order to bring a claim for wrongful death in Vermont, the appropriate surviving family member must file a petition with the probate Court which is followed by a second lawsuit filed in the appropriate trial court. The issues are similar to those in a personal injury claim but wrongful death claims are often more vigorously contested by the responsible party.

Maritime Law
________________
While land-locked Vermont may not have many boat injury claims, the lawyers at Brady / Donahue have experience in maritime and admiralty law and also handle these types of claims in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Accidents or injuries on or near navigable waters can result in litigation that is governed not by the law of the particular state, but rather by federal maritime law. Maritime passengers frequently suffer injuries from falls on slippery decks or when crossing another ship’s wake, and working aboard a ship can be very dangerous. The Jones Act, for instance, permits injured workers to seek compensation for injuries resulting from negligence by their employer or co-workers while employed on a boat, cruise ship, tug, barge, or other vessel.
