COVID Vaccine Injury Compensation in the VICP

Have You Experienced a Severe Reaction to the COVID Vaccine?

If you had a severe reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine, getting compensation through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, or VICP, may soon be an option. 

The lawyers at mctlaw believe that the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) will add the COVID-19 vaccine to this federal program, giving people the financial help they need to recover.

  • Learn how you can get on our waitlist. 
  • Be among the first to know when the VICP begins accepting claims for COVID-19 injuries.
  • Make yourself heard by demanding action from your congressional representatives and senators.

The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and COVID-19 Vaccinations

The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program covers most common immunizations, such as vaccinations for flu, tetanus, hepatitis A and B, meningitis, and more. Our attorneys are working with members of Congress and vaccine manufacturers to make sure the COVID-19 vaccine is included in the VICP as soon as possible.

Benefits of Filing a VICP Claim 

  • The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid out more than $5.2 billion dollars to almost ten thousand vaccine injured people in the United States.
  • The VICP has a 38 year-long proven track record of compensating people suffering severe vaccine reactions.
  • VICP claims are decided by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
  • At present, the VICP has nearly $4.4 billion in available funds.
  • Awards cover pain, suffering, lost wages, and past and future medical expenses.
  • You can hire an attorney to help you file a claim in the VICP and pay no legal fees.The VICP pays your legal fees for you.

Preparing for a Surge in COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Claims

Right now Congress has the chance to pass two bills that could add COVID-19 to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Getting this done in Congress is a must to manage the coming wave of COVID-19 claims in the VICP.

A bipartisan group of United States Representatives introduced a bill to modernize the current Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The key elements of the bill would:

  1. Speed up the time it takes to add new vaccines to the VICP.
  2. Increase the statute of limitation to file a claim from 3 years to 5 years.
  3. Add more judges to the program so claims are processed faster.
  4. Increase the amount of pain and suffering damages that can be awarded

Adding COVID-19 vaccines to the VICP is in the best interests of everyone. There is no opposition or ongoing political or public argument against this addition. There is only inaction. 

What Can I Do to Get COVID Vaccines into the VICP?

Contact your U.S. Representative and your U.S. Senators

Tell them to support Bill H.R. 5142 and Bill H.R. 5143 to streamline the addition of new vaccines like COVID-19 to the VICP.

File a VAERS Report

File a patient report in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and save a copy of it. VAERS is a national early warning reporting system used to detect safety problems in U.S. licensed vaccines. 

Sign the Change.org Petition

Sign the Change.org petition asking the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to add COVID-19 vaccines to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Not Enough Being Done for the COVID Vaccine Injured

The current program for people with COVID vaccine reactions is the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). Unfortunately, we believe the CICP is ineffective and lacks accountability. 

The CICP has only compensated less than a dozen people out of thousands of applications. Those payouts were embarrassingly low; often only a few hundred dollars. 

The attorneys at mctlaw have determined that the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) is unable to help people with COVID-19 vaccine injuries. Instead, these cases should shift to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) which has a 3 decade long proven track record.

We believe everyone injured by the COVID-19 vaccine deserves the right to participate in a legal process meant to fairly compensate the injured and protect their rights.

The only program that works like this is the long-established Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).

I can’t recommend this firm enough. They have an outstanding team that truly care for their clients…I have been awarded a fair six figure settlement.

When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
