St. Louis County Vaccine Injury Lawyer
Overview of Vaccine Cases
Most people who get vaccines have no serious problems. Vaccines, like any medicines, can cause side effects, but most are very rare and very mild. Some health problems that follow vaccinations are not caused by vaccines.
In very rare cases, a vaccine can cause a serious problem, such as a severe allergic reaction. In these instances, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) may provide financial compensation to individuals who file a petition and are found to have been injured by a VICP-covered vaccine.
Understanding Vaccine Injury Claims
Even in cases in which such a finding is not made, petitioners may receive compensation through a settlement.

Vaccine Court Claims – Who is Eligible?
Attorney Tyson Mutrux describes in this video vaccine court claims – who is eligible
Hi! Tyson Mutrux here with the Mutrux Law Firm. Today I’m talking about who is eligible to receive compensation through the vaccine court. Now, I’ve discussed what the vaccine court is under other videos, so if you have any questions about what that is, check out those videos. But to be eligible to receive compensation, you must have taken one of the covered vaccines, you must have been injured, and then injury must have lasted more than six months, it must have resulted in hospitalization and surgery, or it must have resulted in death. So that’s the eligibility requirements.
Vaccine Court Claims –
Can You Receive Compensation if You’re Not a U.S. Citizen?
Attorney Tyson Mutrux describes in this video about vaccine court claims – can you receive compensation if you’re not a U.S. citizen?
Hi! Tyson Mutrux here with the Mutrux Law Firm. Today I’m answering the question of, “Can you receive compensation from the vaccine court if you’re not a US citizen?” The answer to that question is yes, as long as you received it in the United States. There are other ways of recovering if you received outside the United States, which we’ll cover in another video.
Once it is done, the petitioner which will be you if you’re the claimant would have a chance to say whether or not you’re going to accept that amount in writing. You can’t do it verbally. It has to be done in writing. And then both sides will have an opportunity, if they like, to appeal it. You appeal it to the district court and then it can be appealed up from there. So, hopefully, that gives you better understanding with the processes.
Process for Filing a Vaccine Court Claim
Attorney Tyson Mutrux describes in this video process for filing a vaccine court claim
Hi! Tyson Mutrux here with the Mutrux Law Firm. Now today I want to talk about the process for filing a vaccine injury claim in the vaccine court. Once you file the claim with all the necessary records, it then gets sent to the Secretary of Health and Human Services then also to the Department of Justice. Both of those organizations prepare separate reports and they file them with the court and they’re actually put together as one report. Those are sent to the court and what happens then is a special master’s appointed to review the claim and they determine whether or not the claim is compensable and how much the person should have received.
Statutes of Limitation for Vaccine Court Cases
Attorney Tyson Mutrux describes in this video about statutes of limitation for vaccine court cases
Hi! Tyson Mutrux here with the Mutrux Law Firm. Today I want to talk about statutes of limitation for vaccine injuries and deaths that are to be filed in a vaccine court. Now, these can kind of get complicated so I’m going to explain these as best I can. If you have any other question, make sure just give us a call at (888) 550-4026. But for an injury, it’s three years from the first sign of the first symptom, okay? For a death, it’s two years from the death and four years from the first symptom, so you got to make sure you look at both, four years from the first symptom and two years from the death that occurred from the vaccine injury.
(888) 550-4026
Now, the injuries are based upon vaccines that are in the table put out by the vaccine court, and for new ones, you have two years to file from the date — it was listed on the table — for the previous eight years, so if the injury was from nine or ten years ago, you’ll likely don’t have a claim because even though it’s just listed on the table, it was too long ago.

Whether You Need a Lawyer for Vaccine Court Cases
Attorney Tyson Mutrux describes in this video whether you need a lawyer for vaccine court cases
Hi! Tyson Mutrux here with the Mutrux Law Firm. Today I’m talking about whether you need to get an attorney to file a claim in a vaccine court or a vaccine injury. The answer to that question is no. However, it is a legal process, so most people do. And here’s the kicker: you don’t have to pay anything. If the claim has merit, the attorney gets paid from the fund. You don’t pay anything out of pocket, so you’re not having to pay the attorney anything, so you can get compensation for your injuries and have your attorney’s fees paid for.
Vaccine Court Claims –
Can You Receive Compensation if You Received the Vaccine Outside the U.S.
Attorney Tyson Mutrux describes in this video whether you can receive compensation if you received the vaccine outside the U.S.
Hi! Tyson Mutrux here with the Mutrux Law Firm. Today I’m answering the question of, “Can you receive compensation through the vaccine court if you receive a vaccine outside of the United States?” The answer to the question is yes, if you received it in one of the US territories, or you are a US citizen and received it as a military personnel or a government employee, or you’re a dependent of one of those people, or you can receive compensation if you receive a vaccine manufactured in the US and you returned to the US within six months of receiving the vaccination. So that’s how you can recover if you received a vaccination outside the United States.
Vaccine Court Claims – What Medical Records You Need to Submit
Attorney Tyson Mutrux describes in this video about vaccine court claims – what medical records you need to submit
Hi! Tyson Mutrux here with the Mutrux Law Firm. Now as I’ve discussed in other videos, if you’re gonna file a claim through the vaccine court, you need to submit certain medical records. In this video, what I want to do is I want to go through what medical records you need to submit to receive compensation if they’re available. If they’re not available, you need to tell the vaccine court why they are not available. So here’s the list.
You want to go through any medical records prior to vaccination that you think is relevant and submit those. Those include clinic notes, private doctor visits or any other medical records you think are relevant. You also want to make sure you submit your vaccination record and that vaccination record needs to include a lot number and the manufacturer. You also need to submit — and this is very important — post-injury hospital and emergency treatment records, so any records that you received, that you were hospitalized because of the injuries from the vaccine, you need to submit those as well. You also need to submit any post-injury outpatient records, so if you’re receiving treatment from a doctor on an outpatient basis, you need to make sure you submit those to the court. You also want to make sure you submit the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System Form if you submitted one. And you also want to make sure you submit long-term records if they apply to your injuries such as school records, any consultation reports, any educational testing records, and any other documentation that may support your claim.
And also, obviously, if you’re filing a claim for a loved one and they died, you want to make sure you submit any death records such as death certificate or autopsy report. If the person that was injured is a minor, you want to make sure you also submit prenatal and birth records, also the mother’s prenatal record, delivery record and the birth certificate.
VACCINE COURT CLAIMS – FILING FEES
Attorney Tyson Mutrux describes in this video What is the filing fee if you’re gonna file a claim through the vaccine court?
Hi! Tyson Mutrux here with the Mutrux Law Firm. Today I’m answering the question of, “What is the filing fee if you’re gonna file a claim through the vaccine court?” The filing fee is $400. Now, whenever you file that claim with all of the information we discussed in other videos, and even the $400 fee, make sure you also include the medical records. That’s another key component of it, so make sure you have all that information.

VACCINE COURT CLAIMS – WHAT YOU NEED TO INCLUDE IN YOUR CLAIM
Attorney Tyson Mutrux describes in this video vaccine court claims – what you need to include in your claim
Hi! Tyson Mutrux here with the Mutrux Law Firm. Today I want to talk about what you need to include in your claim for compensation if you file a claim through the vaccine court. Now I want you to think of who, what, when and where. Who, who is injured? What, what was the vaccine? When, when was the vaccine first taken? And where, where were the city and the state of where the vaccine was received? You also need to include when the first signs of injury started to appear and the duration of how long those injuries lasted because those are key elements of the claim, and I cover the elements of what and who’s eligible in another video.

Attorney Tyson Mutrux describes in this video what you have to prove to get paid by the Vaccine Court for your Vaccine Injury
What You Need to Prove for Vaccine Injury Compensation
To receive compensation for a vaccine injury through the Vaccine Court, you must provide specific evidence to support your claim. Below are the key factors you need to prove:
The Vaccine is Listed on the Vaccine Injury Table
Your claim must involve a vaccine that is recognized on the official Vaccine Injury Table. This list outlines vaccines covered under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.Symptoms Arose Within the Required Timeframe
The Vaccine Injury Table also specifies the time limits within which symptoms must begin to appear after vaccination. For instance, some symptoms may need to occur within 72 hours of receiving the vaccine. It’s crucial to demonstrate that your symptoms developed within the relevant time window.Causation Between the Vaccine and Injury
It’s not enough to show that you received a vaccine and experienced symptoms. You must also prove that the vaccine caused the injury or aggravated a pre-existing condition. Establishing this link between the vaccine and the injury is essential for your claim.
