Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropath (CIDP) Get Nationally Acclaimed Legal Representation

Nationwide Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy Lawyers

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological disorder characterized by progressive weakness and impaired sensory function in the legs and arms. It is caused by foreign elements attacking a person’s immune system, including the myelin sheath surrounding peripheral nerves. This condition can lead to an autoimmune response, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues.

CIDP can decrease the function of the arms and legs and potentially affect a person's face and eyesight. It is sometimes described as a chronic form of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which can be chronic depending on the circumstances. 

One of the ways foreign elements can enter a person’s immune system is through a vaccine such as a flu vaccine. While negative vaccine effects are generally rare, a small percentage of people may experience an adverse neurological reaction. If this has happened to you, you may be entitled to compensation.

What Are the Symptoms of CIPD?

Numerous symptoms are associated with CIDP.

These can include: 

  • Gradual weakness in the limbs, beginning with the lower extremities
  • Tingling sensations or feelings of weakness in a person’s hands or feet
  • Impaired motor functions
  • Reduction of tendon reflexes
  • Facial paralysis
  • Tiredness and fatigue

Treatment Options for CIPD

Treating CIDP often involves managing the autoimmune response and alleviating symptoms. 

Treatment options include:

  • Corticosteroids: These drugs can help reduce inflammation and slow the immune system's attack on the nervous system.
  • Immunosuppressive drugs: Medications such as azathioprine or methotrexate can help decrease the immune response.
  • Plasma exchange (Plasmapheresis): This process involves removing the plasma from the blood and replacing it with other fluids, which can help remove harmful antibodies.
  • Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG): IVIG therapy provides the body with normal antibodies that can alter the immune system function and reduce attacks on the nervous system.
  • Physical therapy: This type of therapy can improve strength and mobility, helping patients regain functionality in affected limbs.

Vaccines That May Cause CIDP

Although rare, certain vaccines have been associated with triggering CIDP in some individuals. Those reported to potentially cause CIDP include the influenza vaccine, the Hepatitis B vaccine, the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, and the tetanus vaccine. 

Seeking Compensation for Vaccine-Related CIDP Injuries

Victims of vaccine-related CIDP may be eligible for compensation through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). 

This program can cover:

  • Medical expenses incurred due to the injury.
  • Lost wages as a result of the inability to work.
  • Pain and suffering caused by the condition.
  • Legal fees associated with filing a claim.

  • What Are the Different Types of Meningococcal Vaccines and When Are They Typically Given?

    There are two types of meningococcal vaccines, MenACWY and MenB:

    • MenACWY should be given to teens and pre-teens; a booster dose should be given 4-5 years after the initial vaccine.
    • MenB vaccines may be given to older teens between 16 and 18. The vaccine is typically administered in 2 doses.

    For children younger than 10 and adults, MenACWY is only recommended for patients with certain risk factors. Likewise, MenB may be administered to children over 10 and adults who are at higher risk for certain types of meningitis.

  • How to File a Vaccine Claim?

    If you are attempting to file a vaccine injury claim, it’s imperative to retain legal services from a vaccine injury attorney who is experienced and reliable. Although the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) was established to be a non-adversarial and non-litigious entity, the filing process presents a wide variety of legal complexities.

  • How Common Are Vaccine Injuries?

    According to extensive research and surveillance systems, vaccine injuries are relatively rare. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) closely monitors vaccine safety through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), among other systems. These systems enable continuous monitoring of adverse events following immunization, allowing for the detection of any potential safety concerns.

    According to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), which compensates individuals injured by vaccines, less than 1% of vaccine doses result in adverse reactions. These reactions range from mild, such as soreness at the injection site, to more severe but still rare, such as an allergic reaction.

    Various studies have shown that adverse events following vaccination are extremely low. For example, a Vaccine Safety Datalink study reports that severe allergic reactions (known as anaphylaxis) occur at a rate of about 1.31 per million doses administered for vaccines recommended for children and adults.

    Other serious adverse events, such as encephalitis and Guillain-Barre Syndrome, are even rarer, with rates ranging from less than one per million to one per several million doses administered.

  • Can Meningococcal Vaccines Cause Allergic Reactions?
    Pre-filled syringes may contain latex, so patients with sensitivity should discuss inoculation alternatives with their doctor. Anyone who has experienced an allergic reaction after a vaccine should speak to their doctor about safety concerns before they receive further shots.
  • How Does the Vaccine Injury Compensation and Settlement Process Work?

    The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is mandated to compensate individuals who experience vaccine-related injuries. To initiate the process, you must file a claim within three years after the onset of symptoms attributed to the vaccine.

    Eligibility typically requires symptoms lasting at least six months after vaccination or those that lead to hospitalization or surgery. Once a claim is filed, it undergoes evaluation. Your legal advocate will present your case and demonstrate the link between the vaccine and the reported injuries.

    If the claim is successful, compensation is awarded to cover expenses such as:

    • Medical expenses
    • Lost wages
    • Lost earning capacity
    • Pain and suffering
    • Wrongful death

    Importantly, pursuing a claim through VICP involves no upfront costs for the claimant. The VICP covers legal fees and related expenses. This provides financial relief to those seeking compensation for vaccine-related injuries.

  • What is a Vaccine Injury Lawsuit?

    A vaccine injury lawsuit is a legal claim filed by an individual who believes they have been injured by a vaccine. Vaccine injury victims have the right to seek compensation for their injuries through a lawsuit. These lawsuits are typically filed against the vaccine manufacturer and, in some cases, against other parties involved in the vaccine administration.

    To file a vaccine injury claim, you should consult with a vaccine injury attorney to assess the claim and determine if there is sufficient evidence to support a lawsuit. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is a no-fault federal program that compensates individuals who have been injured due to vaccines.

    Note that vaccine injury lawsuits can be challenging to prove. In a no-fault claim system, the legal standard for proving a vaccine injury is generally higher than in other personal injury cases. You must demonstrate that the vaccine caused an injury, and this often requires expert medical testimony. However, an attorney can guide you through the legal process.
