Vaccine Injury Lawyer for Compensation Program
Anyone adult or child that has suffered a vaccine-related injury might
believe that they have no recourse but to sue the maker of the vaccine, which
can be very difficult.
There is an alternative. Few people (including medical professionals) know about
the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The VICP allows
people injured by vaccines and immunizations to receive compensation, without
having to prove who was at fault for the injury. Claims are brought to the
Federal Court of Claims, by attorneys admitted to practice in that special
court.
The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act was established in 1988. It is a
federal "no-fault" system run by the Federal Court of Claims. Its purpose is to
compensate adults, children, and families who have been injured by vaccines or
immunizations.
From its inception, the VICP and the Court of Claims have helped stabilize the
vaccine market by providing protection to vaccine manufacturers and providers.
Claims brought before the Court of Claims for Vaccine injuries help encourage
research and development of new and safer vaccines. The Court of Claims provides
a more expedient and simple process to help resolve vaccine injury claims.
Since 1988, more than 7000 vaccine claims have been filed, and over 2000
families and individuals have been awarded compensation totaling more than $1
billion dollars. More than 5000 autism claims have been made as well.
The average claims takes two years to resolve, and approximately 42% of resolved
claims have been awarded compensation. Learn more about

injury fund program.
Vaccines that are covered in the Court of Claims include the following:
- Autism caused by vaccines (thiomersal)
- Flu Shots (Haemophilus influenza type B)
- Diphtheria
- Tetanus
- Pertussis
- Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR or any components)
- Polio (OPV or IPV)
- Hepatitis A (HAV)
- Hepatitis B (HBV)
- Varicella (VZV)
- Rotavirus (RV)
- Pneumococcal conjugate (PCV)
- Trivalent influenza (TIV, LAI)
- Meningococcal conjugate and polysaccharide
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
There are specific time limits on the filing of claims, and many claims must
be brought within 3 years of the first symptoms of a vaccine injury.
Attorneys licensed in the Court of Claims may bring claims on behalf of injured
adults, children and families. Normally, the licensed attorneys are paid through
the Court of Claims and the VICP. Clients who receive a recovery in the Court of
Claims receive the full recovery, and do not pay attorney fees.
At Farrish Johnson, we handle our client’s cases before the Court of Claims
without charge to the client. We also advance all costs of the claim. Farrish
Johnson then seeks reimbursement from the Court of Claims and the VICP only. Our
clients do not pay us attorney fees, or pay for the costs of going forward.
