U.S. Vaccine Injury Compensation Lawyers
Experienced Chicago Vaccine Injury Attorneys Handling VICP Claims
Vaccines are designed to invoke the body's immune system response to harmful pathogens. While vaccines can reduce or eliminate the threat of an infectious disease, for some people, vaccines can cause severe injuries. Such injuries may have lifelong effects requiring costly medical assistance and support for those affected. If you suspect that a vaccine may have injured you or a loved one, hiring a trusted vaccine injury lawyer will help you obtain the best possible outcome.
The Vaccine Injury Law Project, led by Attorney Ed Kraus, is a national practice focused on handling cases that are litigated under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (NCVIA). According to statistical data from the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), more than $3 billion has been awarded since the inception of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
