Motor vehicle accidents in Vermont
Vermont is a small, rural driving market where volume concentrates around Chittenden County — Burlington, South Burlington, and the I-89 corridor connecting Montpelier and the Upper Valley. I-91 runs the length of the state's eastern edge along the Connecticut River, carrying regional traffic between Brattleboro and the Northeast Kingdom.
Winter conditions, mountain roads through the Green Mountains, and heavy leaf-season tourist traffic drive a meaningful share of Vermont's collisions. Case counts are lower than in a big metro state, so exclusivity matters even more — every qualified lead is one a competing firm did not get.
Vermont injury law that shapes these cases
Vermont is an at-fault (tort) state — the driver responsible for the crash, and their insurer, pays for the injuries. There is no PIP-first requirement.
The statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is three years from the date of the accident.
Vermont applies modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar: a claimant recovers only if they are 50% or less at fault, with recovery reduced by their share of the blame; at 51% or more, they recover nothing.
Notably, Vermont law sets higher minimum limits for uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (50/100) than for baseline liability (25/50) — a useful thing for intake to keep in mind when a claimant's crash involved an under-insured driver.
- Statute of limitations: 3 years for personal injury.
- Fault system: at-fault / tort (no PIP).
- Negligence rule: modified comparative, 51% bar.
- Minimum liability: 25/50/10 — $25k bodily injury per person, $50k per accident, $10k property damage; UM/UIM required at 50/100.
How we screen Vermont leads
We run our own motor-vehicle-accident campaigns in Vermont markets, capture each claimant ourselves, and qualify on a recent accident, a reported injury, and that the claimant was not the at-fault driver.
In a lower-volume state, the not-at-fault screen keeps you from spending on claimants who would be barred under Vermont's 51% rule — so the leads you receive are the ones actually worth your intake team's attention.
Vermont advertising & lead-gen compliance
In a small market like Vermont, every lead counts — which is exactly why it's worth knowing that the way a lead was generated can create liability for the firm that buys it, not just the source.
The federal TCPA requires prior express consent before marketing calls or texts go out to a consumer. The FCC's one-to-one consent rule was vacated by the 11th Circuit in January 2025 and is not in force, but valid consent is still required and the FCC's consent-revocation rules (effective April 2025) require that opt-outs be honored promptly. On the professional side, the Vermont Rules of Professional Conduct (7.1–7.3) prohibit false or misleading communications about a lawyer's services and regulate solicitation of prospective clients.
Kurios is built to keep firms clear of those rules. We run consent-based, advertising-driven campaigns — claimants come to us and submit their own information through documented, consent-based capture, so there is no cold solicitation in the pipeline. Our landing pages carry the required disclosures, make no outcome guarantees and no misleading "act now" language, we honor opt-outs, and each lead goes to one firm only. A non-compliant lead source can expose the firm that buys from it; a compliant, consent-based advertising source means the leads you receive don't put your bar standing or your budget at risk. (Mark confirms production-specific compliance details before launch.) For the authoritative rules behind all of this, see the Vermont Bar Association’s attorney-advertising rules and the FCC’s TCPA rules on telemarketing and robocalls.
Why Vermont personal injury firms work with Kurios
In a lower-volume state, your cost per signed case lives or dies on quality and exclusivity — you can't afford to burn a thin lead flow on junk. Every Kurios lead is exclusive to one Vermont firm (never shared, resold, or recycled), screened for a recent crash, a real injury, and not-at-fault status, and reaches your CRM in under 10 seconds so your intake can call while the claimant is still on the page. No washed lists, no wrong numbers, no leads a competing Burlington firm already worked. We focus exclusively on MVA cases, run a 3-month test batch of 50 exclusive leads a month — month-to-month, cancel anytime within the 3 months, no retainer — and replace off-criteria leads, so you prove cost per signed case on your own intake intake first. See how our exclusive model compares to shared and aged lists.

See If You QualifyFrequently Asked Questions
Are Kurios leads compliant with Vermont advertising and TCPA rules?
Yes. Kurios runs consent-based, advertising-driven campaigns: claimants come to us and submit their own information through documented, consent-based capture, supporting the TCPA's prior-express-consent requirement, and our landing pages carry required disclosures and make no outcome guarantees to stay within Vermont's professional-conduct advertising rules. We honor opt-outs promptly. Firms should confirm production-specific compliance details before launch.
Could a non-compliant lead source expose my Vermont firm?
It can. Unconsented outreach or misleading legal advertising can create TCPA and Bar exposure that reaches the firm buying the leads, not only the vendor. Kurios avoids that by generating consent-based inbound claimants through compliant advertising, so you aren't buying someone else's liability.
What's the statute of limitations for a car accident claim in Vermont?
