If you or a loved one were injured or suffered complications after receiving a vaccine, you may be entitled to recover compensation from a vaccine injury lawsuit case or settlement claim.
A team of drug injury lawyers and vaccine injury attorneys is investigating potential vaccine injury lawsuit cases of individuals who were injured or died after being getting vaccinated with certain vaccines.
A vaccine is a biologic substance that teaches the body to recognize and fight off infectious viruses and bacteria by mimicking the bacteria or virus and stimulating the body’s immune system to build up defenses against the bacteria or virus without causing the disease.
Vaccines are given to millions of babies, children, teens and adults (via injections or vaccine shots, liquids, pills, and/or nasal sprays) and have likely helped prevent millions of hospitalizations and hundreds of thousands of deaths in the United States from various virus/bacteria related diseases. Unfortunately, however, in rare cases, vaccines can cause serious side-effects, illnesses, injury, disability, and/or death.
Vaccine Lawsuit & Settlement Cases
Vaccine lawsuit and settlement cases potentially being investigated include claims of individuals who were injured or died after after receiving certain vaccines, including the following:

Most vaccine lawsuits in federal court are filed in Washington, DC in the United States Court of Federal Claims (in the Vaccine Court) pursuant to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), a no-fault alternative to the traditional legal system for resolving vaccine injury petitions which provides compensation to people who are injured or die because of certain covered vaccines.
For a vaccine injury, eligible claimants may recover compensation in the vaccine court for past and future non-reimbursable medical, custodial care, and rehabilitation costs, and related expenses, for pain and suffering (up to $250,000) and lost earnings. For a vaccine death, eligible claimants may recover compensation in the form of a death benefit for the estate of the deceased (up to $250,000).

Time Is Limited To File A Vaccine Lawsuit
Deadlines known as statutes of limitation and statutes of repose can limit the amount of time that individuals have to file a vaccine lawsuit to try to recover compensation for injuries they claimed to have suffered after having received certain vaccines.
This means that if a vaccine lawsuit case is not filed before the applicable time limit or deadline, the claimant may be prohibited from ever pursuing litigation or taking legal action regarding the vaccine injury claim. That is why it is important to connect with a vaccine injury lawyer or attorney as soon as possible.
