What Is a Vaccine Injury?
A vaccine injury refers to a side effect or adverse health outcome caused by a vaccine or immunization drug. In the most severe cases, vaccine injuries have caused permanent disabilities and deaths.
Side effects and serious health conditions associated with vaccines include:
- Allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock
- Autoimmune disorders
- Blood conditions, including blood clots
- Chronic arthritis
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
- Guillain-Barré syndrome
- Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
- Lupus
- Nerve conditions
- Neuromyelitis Optica
- Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)
- Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA)
Vaccines are meant to protect patients by preventing harmful diseases. Unfortunately, vaccines can cause serious injuries, instead – especially when a manufacturing company does not take proper care in ensuring the safety of a vaccine prior to distribution.
Liability for Vaccine Injuries in Los Angeles
It may be possible for victims of vaccine injuries to file claims against the manufacturer of the drug. A dangerous drug liability claim can hold a negligent manufacturer or pharmaceutical company responsible for contributing to the injury, such as by failing to conduct proper safety tests and clinical trials.
Drug liability cases are based on the legal doctrine of product liability. This law holds manufacturers responsible for producing or distributing faulty or defective products that cause consumer injuries. Under the rule of strict product liability, it is not necessary for a victim to prove that a manufacturer was negligent to have a valid product liability claim.
Vaccine injury cases are unique because they involve the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).This is a federal program that provides financial compensation to people who have been injured by certain vaccines. A vaccine injury lawyer can represent you during your claim to help you pursue fair financial compensation for your losses.
