Patrick Biggam

Patrick Biggam is Of Counsel and a founding partner at Biggam Fox Skinner. He has practiced law in Vermont since 1979, focusing on workers’ compensation and personal injury. He represents injured workers and accident victims who face unfair treatment from insurance companies. His approach begins with listening to the client’s circumstances, then explaining available legal remedies and advocating for the benefits or compensation supported by the claim.

Biggam earned a J.D., cum laude, from Vermont Law School in 1979 and a B.A. from Georgetown University in 1969. Before his legal career, he worked as a schoolteacher, hospital aide, factory worker, construction laborer, and farm hand. His education and varied employment background support a practice centered on workplace injury. They provide context for understanding both legal questions and the practical consequences an injury can have for a worker.

Biggam’s experience includes taking a vocational rehabilitation dispute to the Vermont Supreme Court after an injured worker was denied meaningful assistance returning to work. He has also advocated for changes to workers’ compensation and personal injury laws through work with the Vermont Legislature. His practice combines individual representation with attention to the rules shaping injured workers’ access to remedies, including questions affecting recovery, benefits, and the ability to resume employment.

Patrick Biggam is a past president of the Vermont Association for Justice and has served on its board. His affiliations include the Vermont Bar Association and Workers Injury Law & Advocacy Group. He also lectures on workers’ compensation law. His work links counseling with advocacy, helping clients understand their situation before deciding how to pursue a claim. This approach keeps the worker’s needs central to the assessment of available legal options.
