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.

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.

  • Do I have a Case for Damages?

    If you or a loved one experiences severe side effects after a meningococcal vaccine, it’s important to keep detailed records to be used as evidence down the line. Medical documents and bills should be copied or scanned so you have backups. Then, speak to a lawyer.

    They can advise you on whether you have a claim and help you gather and organize the evidence and start the filing process. In a time that’s likely filled with stress, fear, and sadness, it’s important to have someone who knows the rules and procedures on your side.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can Meningococcal Vaccines Cause Fever or Illness?

    Yes, a small percentage of patients experience side effects including:

    • Fatigue
    • Fever
    • Nausea
    • Or diarrhea after a vaccine

    The MenB vaccine is more likely to cause side effects than MenACWY, though either could generate a reaction. These symptoms normally disappear 3-5 days after the vaccine was administered. If symptoms persist outside of this timeframe, patients may need to seek follow-up care to test for more serious complications.

  • 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.
  • 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.
