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.

Common Answers To Your Questions

  • 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 Common Are Vaccine Injuries?

    Vaccine injuries are rare when considering the number of vaccinations given nationwide. According to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (“VICP”) statistics, less than 1% of vaccine doses result in adverse reactions. Many of these are not compensated since the adverse reaction lasts less than six months. Notwithstanding, many vaccine injuries are legitimate and must be fairly compensated.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
