(Medical-NewsWire.com, October 08, 2013 ) Chicago, Illinois-The Chicago area trial attorney, Gary A. Newland of Newland and Newland, LLP is experienced in vaccine law and represents those injured by a vaccine through the National Vaccine Injury and Compensation Program. Gary is a trial lawyer and a vaccine lawyer. He is licensed to practice in Federal Court and can represent children and adults injured throughout Illinois and the United States.
According to Gary, Congress created the National Vaccine Injury and Compensation Program in 1986 to award compensation to those that had suffered injuries caused by vaccination. Claims for such injuries are filed in the United States Court of Federal Claims, Office of Special Masters in Washington, D.C. Injury claims are heard before a “Special Master” who is basically a judge. The vaccine program is represented by the Department of Justice and the Secretary of Health and Human Services will defend the case. The fund provides for compensation for past and future medical needs, past and future pain and suffering, and future lost wages.
Vaccines that fall under the National Vaccine Injury and Compensation Program
• Tetanus Toxoid
• Dyptheria-Tetanus-Pertussis (MMR, MR, M, R)
• Measles-Mumps-Rubella
• Polio live virus (OPV)
• Polio inactivated virus (IPV)
• Hepatitis B vaccines (HAV)
• Hepatitis A vaccines (HBV)
• Hemophilus influenza type b
• Polysaccharide conjugate vaccines (HIV)
• Varicella (chicken pox) vaccines (VZH)
• Meningococcal vaccines
• Human papillomavirus vaccines (HPV)
• Trivalent influenza vaccines
• Pneumococcal (pneumonia) conjugate vaccines (PCV)3
• Rotavirus vaccines containing live, oral, rhesus-based rotavirus
• etc.
When you have a vaccine claim physicians are often unaware of the compensation program and/or unaware of how to diagnose vaccine related issues.
Lawyers’ fees are paid by the fund whether you win or lose, as long as the case was filed “in good faith and with a reasonable basis”.
