The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) was created in 1986 for several purposes:

• To ensure an adequate supply of vaccines
• To stabilize vaccine costs
• To establish and maintain a forum for individuals found to be injured by certain vaccines

The Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund

The Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund is funded by a $.75 tax on every vaccine that is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for routine administration to children. These funds are put into the trust fund to compensate people who are injured or killed by vaccine-related injuries.

If you or a loved one has been injured because of a vaccine, the attorneys of Schexnaydre Law Firm, LLC, can help.

Do You Have A Claim?

You may file a claim under the NVICP if you received a vaccine covered by the program and believe that the vaccine injured you. Parents and legal guardians may also file claims on behalf of children and disabled adults who have been injured by vaccines. Claims are decided by the United States Court of Federal Claims.

While anyone may file a claim with or without an attorney, it is always wise to speak to a lawyer if you are seeking compensation for an injury. An experienced attorney can help you avoid common mistakes, maximize your chances of recovering compensation and ensure your interests are protected throughout the process.
