Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) Get Nationally Acclaimed Legal Representation

Nationwide Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Lawyers

Pursuing Compensation for Vaccine Injuries Across the U.S.

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an abnormally low number of platelets, the cells responsible for blood clotting. This condition can lead to easy or excessive bruising and bleeding. 

The cause of ITP is often unknown (idiopathic), but infections, medications, or vaccines can sometimes trigger it. While ITP can affect people of all ages, it is particularly concerning in children who may develop the condition following a viral infection or vaccination.

Our highly skilled legal team at Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates has focused on pursuing compensation for the vaccine-injured through federal claims. We are backed by decades of experience in this complex practice area and have achieved an impressive 90% success rate for our clients. 

If you or a loved one develops ITP after a vaccination, you may be eligible for compensatory damages. These can include reimbursement of all medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and legal fees. We can assess your situation to determine eligibility, and where applicable, our team can represent you in the Federal Claims Court process. 

Call Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates at (888) 891-2816 for a free consultation with a nationwide idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura attorney. You can also submit our online contact form to get started. 

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura & Vaccination

Vaccination-related ITP occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys platelets following immunization. This is a rare but recognized adverse effect of some vaccines. 

Vaccines associated with ITP include but are not limited to:

  • Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine: This is among the most commonly associated vaccines, particularly in children. Cases usually occur within six weeks of vaccination.
  • Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine: This vaccine is frequently linked to ITP, often present within the first four to six weeks after immunization.
  • Hepatitis A and B vaccines: While less common, reports of ITP following these vaccinations have been made.
  • Influenza (flu) vaccine: Some cases of ITP have been reported following seasonal flu vaccinations, albeit infrequently.
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine: There have been rare instances of ITP reported after HPV vaccination.

Identifying the association between these vaccines and ITP is crucial for understanding potential risks and ensuring prompt medical attention if symptoms arise.

  • Easy bruising: Sudden and unexplained bruises on the body.
  • Petechiae: Small red or purple dots on the skin caused by bleeding under the skin.
  • Frequent nosebleeds: Nosebleeds that are difficult to stop.
  • Bleeding gums: Particularly after dental work or brushing teeth.
  • Heavy menstrual periods: Increased menstrual bleeding.
  • Blood in urine or stools: Indicating internal bleeding.

Prompt medical evaluation and treatment are essential to manage the condition and prevent serious complications.

Legal Recourse Through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a no-fault alternative to the traditional legal system for resolving vaccine injury claims. Established by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, the VICP aims to ensure a stable vaccine supply, provide a balanced and fair compensation process, and protect the public from potential adverse effects of vaccines. 

Under this program, individuals who have experienced severe injury or adverse effects from covered vaccines can receive financial compensation without proving negligence or fault from the vaccine manufacturer or healthcare provider.

Claims are reviewed and adjudicated by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, typically involving medical expert testimonies to establish the link between the vaccine and the injury. The  VICP offers a streamlined and accessible means for individuals to seek redress for vaccine-related injuries. It underscores the program's commitment to supporting those affected while reinforcing public confidence in the nation's vaccination efforts.

The Benefits of Legal Assistance from Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates

Filing a VICP claim can be complex, and experienced legal guidance is invaluable in making a compelling case. Comprehensive medical records documenting the onset and treatment of your medical condition are required. These include vaccination details and professional opinions linking your diagnosis to the vaccine. 

Our firm can assist by compiling and organizing all necessary documentation; we work with medical experts to support your claim. Our team can then prepare your case and advocate for you throughout the legal process. Our mission is to help you achieve the maximum compensation to which you are entitled under the law.

  • 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.

  • Can Meningococcal Vaccines Cause Meningitis?
    No. A meningococcal vaccine is not “live”—it consists of proteins re-combined to mimic the bacteria that can cause meningitis. Even among populations with weak immune systems, the vaccine should not cause infection. However, it is advised that patients who do ill not receive the vaccine.
  • 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.
  • What is a Vaccine Injury?

    Vaccines are key in preventing the spread of infectious diseases and protecting public health. However, in very rare cases, vaccines can cause adverse reactions, leading to injuries. Vaccine injuries refer to any adverse events that may occur following vaccination.

    To address vaccine injuries, there are established systems in place to monitor and investigate reported vaccine injuries. For example, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a centralized database for reporting and tracking potential vaccine-related injuries.

  • 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.
