Pennsylvania Vaccine Lawyer

Did you or a loved one suffer an injury or experience complications following vaccination?

From eradicating potentially fatal childhood diseases to sparing countless millions from pain and disability, it would be difficult to overstate the importance of vaccines like the polio shot, flu shot, or tetanus shot to overall public health.

Compensation for Vaccine Injuries in Pennsylvania

The NVICP allows victims of vaccine-related injuries and adverse events to obtain compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost earnings, pain, and suffering without filing a traditional personal injury or medical malpractice lawsuit. Established by the U.S. Congress in 1988 amid concerns that such litigation could result in vaccine shortages and discourage many people from receiving vaccines, the program has so far paid out more than $4.5 billion to nearly 10,000 claimants.

Vaccines covered by the NVICP include:

• Diphtheria (e.g., DTP, DTaP, Tdap, DT, Td, TT)
• Haemophilus influenzae type b polysaccharide conjugate vaccines (e.g., Hib)
• Hepatitis A (e.g., HAV)
• Hepatitis B (e.g., HBV)
• Human papillomavirus (e.g., HPV)
• Seasonal influenza (e.g., Flu Shot)
• Measles (e.g., MMR)
• Mumps (e.g., MMR, MR, M)
• Meningococcal (e.g., MCV4, MPSV4, MenB-FHbp, MenB-4C)
• Pertussis (e.g., DT, DTaP, Tdap)
• Pneumococcal conjugate (e.g., PCV)
• Polio (e.g., OPV or IPV)
• Polio (e.g., OPV or IPV)
• Rotavirus (e.g., RV)
• Rubella (e.g., MMR, MR, R)
• Tetanus (e.g., Td)
• Varicella/Chickenpox (e.g., VAR)

Covered adverse events range from injection site injuries to neurological complications resulting in paralysis and, rarely, death. Some of the most common injuries and conditions involved in claims for compensation under the NVICP include:

• Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)
• Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA)
• Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
• Transverse myelitis
• Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (brachial neuritis)
• Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction)
• Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
• Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)

As a no-fault program, the NVICP streamlines the compensation process and eliminates the need for claimants to prove vaccine-related injuries resulted from negligence or fault on the part of vaccine manufacturers, healthcare providers, or anyone else. All NVICP petitions must be filed with the United States Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., where all of our Pennsylvania vaccine lawyers are admitted to practice.

Unlike traditional lawsuits, successful claimants do not pay their attorney a percentage of the compensation awarded through the NVICP. Instead, all legal fees can be paid separately by the Court of Federal Claims once a case is resolved, ensuring that all of the awarded compensation goes directly to the injured party.
