Vaccine claims are processed differently from a typical medical malpractice or product liability claim. All claims are filed in the United States Court of Federal Claims in Washington D.C. under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Kirk Claunch and Jim Piel are licensed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and are ready to help you seek compensation for these injuries.
CLIENT PAYS NO ATTORNEY FEES
An important feature of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is that attorney’s fees are paid through the Program and not by our clients. As a result, our clients keep the entire amount of any award from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
