A New Jersey Personal Injury Attorney Discusses Vaccines

Vaccines are generally touted as a safe way to prevent disease and illness. However, some patients may have adverse reactions to the vaccines and suffer negative health consequences. If you or someone you know has suffered an injury due to vaccine use, you will want to contact a New Jersey personal injury attorney.

National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

Vaccine injury claims are different from other medical injury and personal injury claims. The federal government has created an entire department within the Justice Department to fight claims for vaccine injuries. In addition, as a New Jersey personal injury lawyer can tell you, a special master will preside over the case as opposed to a civil judge. The special master will determine if your claim has merit and how much damages you may be entitled to collect. If you win, your legal fees and court costs will be paid by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Because the procedures for bringing a vaccine injury claim are so different, you will want to work with a New Jersey personal injury experienced in this area.

Vaccines Covered by the Program

Some common vaccines covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program include:

  • Hepatitis A and B
  • Diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus
  • Measles/mumps/rubella
  • Meningococcal
  • Polio
  • Hemophilus influenzae
  • Varicella vaccine

Keep in mind that this is just a short list of popular vaccines covered by the program. If you believe that you have been harmed by some other vaccine, contact a New Jersey personal injury lawyer to learn about your potential rights to recovery.

Negative Side Effects and Possible Injuries From Vaccines

Vaccines can lead to a number of complications ranging from minor complications to death. Some negative side effects may include:

  • Seizures
  • Arthritis
  • Multiple sclerosis
