Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) Get Nationally Acclaimed Legal Representation

Nationwide Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Lawyers

Pursuing Compensation for Vaccine-Related ITP 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. 

Contact Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates for a free consultation regarding ITP. Call us at (888) 891-2816 or 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 Risks:

  • 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.

  • How Does the Vaccine Injury Compensation and Settlement Process Work?

    The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is designed to compensate individuals who experience a vaccine caused injury or illness. 

    A Petition must be filed within three years after the onset of the symptoms attributed to the vaccination or two years within a death caused by a vaccination. 

    Once a Petition (claim) is filed, it undergoes evaluation by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Respondent) and their attorneys from the Vaccine Division. The Court may require expert reports after which the case may be set for trial or settled.

    If this case is won or settled, then an injured Petitioner may be entitled to pain and suffering, reimbursement of medical expenses, past and future lost wages, a life care plan funded annuity to cover future medical expenses such as attendant care and home modifications, and in rare cases a wrongful death benefit.

  • What Vaccines Are Covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program?

    Diphtheria, Tetanus, Flu (Influenza), Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Meningococcal, Pneumococcal, Polio, Rotavirus, and Varicella (Chickenpox).

    For more information on vaccines included under the VICP, visit our page on Vaccines covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).

  • How to File a Vaccine Claim?

    An individual can file a claim without legal representation. The government utilizes Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys who defend each case. Therefore, it is wise to retain an experienced and reliable vaccine injury attorney to assist you through the process and who can make sure the rules and guidelines of the court be followed that the Special Masters (Judges) require.

  • How Can I Get Help After a Vaccine Injury?

    The Vaccine Injury Compensation Act established the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This Act covers cases involving 17 different vaccines as indicated on the “Types of Vaccines” tab of our website.  

    Assuming that the vaccine that caused your injury or illness is covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act, you have come to the right place. 

    Experienced vaccine attorneys, such as those in our law firm, will gather the medical documentation and vaccine administration record necessary to complete a Petition for filing in the United States Court of Federal Claims (USCFC). Additionally, we will attempt to answer all of your questions during this process.

  • What is a Vaccine Injury?

    Vaccine injuries refer to any adverse events that are caused by avaccination. For instance, a vaccine injury can be caused by the wrongful administration of a vaccine. Alternatively, an autoimmune response to the ingredients of the vaccine may cause an adverse event. These types of adverse reactions are rare, but at times painful or quite serious and potentially even catastrophic.

  • What is a Vaccine Injury Lawsuit?

    There are two types of lawsuits possible for a vaccine injury. 

    1. The most common is a Petition (complaint) filed before the United States Court of Federal Claims (”USCFC”) in Washington D.C. These cases are always defended by the Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys in the Vaccine Division. The DOJ employs approximately 35 attorneys. The Vaccine Division of the USCFC has 8 full-time Special Masters (Judges) who hear these cases. To file a federal case under the Vaccine Injury Program, it is wise to retain an experienced vaccine law firm to assist you as many cases need to be supported by expert medical testimony in order to succeed. Additionally, experienced attorneys know the potential value of a case when weighing the risk and likely compensation during settlement negotiations. 

    2. The second type of vaccine lawsuit is under State Law for products liability, or personal injury. It involves paying the cost for experts and depositions and varying legal standards. It may be more difficult to prove with respect to those vaccines not covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act. For now, the traditional court system may be the only legal recourse available for non-covered vaccines. The exception to this is for Covid-19 cases. Sadly, Covid-19 cases are covered by the very restrictive Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) which is nonjudicial. Our law firm does not represent individuals in any administrative nonjudicial program.
