What to Do If You’ve Been Injured After Receiving a Measles Vaccine
Attorney Tyson Mutrux describes in this video what to do if you’ve been injured after getting vaccinated for the Measles Virus
If you or a loved one has suffered an adverse reaction after receiving a measles vaccine, you may be wondering about your legal options. Unlike typical personal injury claims, vaccine injury claims must be filed through a specialized federal court known as the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Here’s what you need to know and how Mutrux Firm Injury Lawyers can help.
Understanding the Vaccine Court
The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) was created to handle claims for individuals who experience vaccine-related injuries. This means that if you’ve had a serious reaction to a measles-containing vaccine, your case cannot be filed in state court—it must go through this specialized federal court.
One key advantage of the vaccine court is that attorney’s fees are covered on an hourly basis by the court itself. Unlike most personal injury cases, where fees are taken from your compensation, you do not pay out of pocket for legal representation.
Checking the Vaccine Injury Table
Before filing a claim, it’s crucial to review the Vaccine Injury Table to see if your reaction is covered. The table outlines:
✔️ The vaccines included (such as the MMR vaccine, which contains the measles virus)
✔️ The specific injuries and side effects recognized for compensation
✔️ The timeframe within which symptoms must appear
For measles vaccines, symptoms typically need to manifest between seven (7) days and six (6) months after vaccination. If your injury falls within this window, you may have a valid claim.
