David Berman

David Berman is a founding attorney at Talbott Berman, PLLC in Shelburne, Vermont. His practice focuses exclusively on representing injured workers in workers’ compensation matters. Berman assists clients with claims for benefits following workplace injuries or occupational illnesses, including situations involving disputed coverage or denied claims. He draws on earlier experience representing employers to assess cases from both sides of the Vermont workers’ compensation system.

Berman graduated with honors from The George Washington University Law School. During law school, he was a Thurgood Marshall Scholar and a member of the International Law Review. His legal education provides a foundation for his work on the rules and procedures governing injury benefits. He has more than 18 years of experience in Vermont workers’ compensation matters and previously represented employers before changing the focus of his practice.

Berman worked at another Vermont law firm handling complex workers’ compensation claims for employers and received Lawyer of the Year recognition for that work. He later established Talbott Berman with Frank Talbott and shifted to representing injured employees exclusively. He now works with clients pursuing compensation and benefits, including those navigating claim procedures, medical questions, insurance decisions, and appeals from denied benefits.

David Berman uses his prior defense-side experience to help injured workers evaluate how insurers and employers may approach disputed claims. His firm’s representation includes guiding people through the Vermont Department of Labor process and helping them understand the medical, legal, and financial concerns connected with a work injury. He focuses on securing available workers’ compensation benefits through careful preparation and individualized advice.
