Vaccine Injury

We Help Clients Recover When They’ve Suffered Vaccine Injury.

Vaccines are generally safe and effective, and thousands of people get recommended vaccinations every day.  In rare circumstances, individuals can have an adverse reaction to one of those vaccines.  When one of those rare adverse reactions occurs, Fabian VanCott can help you pursue compensation under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).

Passed in 1986, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act created a no-fault alternative to the traditional tort system.  Under this no-fault alternative, a small amount of money from each vaccine ($0.75 per disease prevented) is set aside in a trust fund, and a person who suffers an adverse reaction sues this trust fund, not their doctor or the vaccine manufacturer. 

The VICP operates differently than traditional litigation and is conducted through the Office of Special Master in the Court of Federal Claims in Washington DC, where less than 200 attorneys nationwide are licensed to practice vaccine injury compensation.  Not all vaccines are covered by the VICP, only injuries suffered as a result of vaccinations recommended for children are eligible for compensation.  Currently, the eligible vaccines are:

If you’ve suffered an adverse reaction after receiving one of the covered vaccinations, a Fabian VanCott attorney licensed to practice vaccine injury compensation can assist you in seeking compensation for lost wages, out-of-pocket medical expenses, future medical expenses, and general damages (pain and suffering).
