Most Vermont residents won’t have PIP (Personal Insurance Protection) as it usually sold in states that have a no-fault insurance system.

If you have PIP, it will likely pay a good share of your medical bills.

We will talk about the workers’ compensation system in detail later.

If you were injured due to the fault of some third party other than your employer, you have a claim against that third party, but the workers’ compensation insurer should still pay your medical bills.
