Exceptions and details
The limit is $10,000 (Act 46 of 2023, effective June 5, 2023). Small claims cannot hear collection of consumer-credit or medical debt over $5,000. If the claim is over $3,500, the defendant may ask for a Superior judge or a specially appointed attorney to hear it. Businesses have the same $10,000 limit. Libel and slander claims are excluded. The Judiciary's page (vtcourts.gov/civil/suing-and-being-sued-small-claims) also states $10,000.
The 3-year period runs from the date the injury is discovered (the statute includes a discovery rule). The statute says "except as otherwise provided in this chapter," so other claim types, such as medical malpractice and wrongful death, have their own sections.
Vermont has no mandatory state bar association. The LRS is run by the voluntary statewide Vermont Bar Association. Referrals are free, and the first consultation (up to 30 minutes) costs no more than $25.
