Fainting (Vasovagal Syncope) Get Nationally Acclaimed Legal Representation

Nationwide Vasovagal Syncope Lawyers

Legal Representation for the Vaccine-Injured

Vasovagal syncope, commonly known as fainting, is a sudden, temporary loss of consciousness. It is caused by a drop in heart rate and blood pressure, which reduces blood flow to the brain. This condition is often triggered by specific factors such as stress, pain, prolonged standing, or dehydration. When the body's response to these triggers becomes exaggerated, it can result in a vasovagal episode.

"Vasovagal" refers to the physiological response involving the vagus nerve and blood vessels. The vagus nerve is one of the longest nerves in the body. It plays a crucial role in regulating heart rate and blood pressure by transmitting signals between the brain and various organs, including the heart and digestive tract. 

"Vaso" refers to the blood vessels. When triggered by certain stimuli, the vasovagal response can cause the heart rate to slow down, leading to a temporary decrease in blood flow to the brain. This response underlies vasovagal syncope, which results in fainting spells.

At Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates, we concentrate our practice on legal claims for vaccine-injured individuals. These claims are made through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), a federal no-fault system for resolving injury petitions. 

Such injuries can include vasovagal syncope and other medical conditions caused by vaccination. Our firm has extensive experience in this complex field, led by Attorney Jeffrey S. Pop, with 50 years of practice.

The Vagus Nerve

The vagus nerve is one of the longest and most complex nerves in the human body. Originating in the brainstem, specifically the medulla oblongata, it extends downward through the neck, chest, and abdomen. It is a critical component of the “parasympathetic” nervous system, allowing the body to rest, digest, and maintain balance in response to internal and external stimuli. 

During a vasovagal syncope episode, excessive stimulation of the vagus nerve can lead to a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure. This can result in reduced blood flow to the brain, causing a temporary loss of consciousness or fainting. The vagus nerve's activation during this response can trigger a vasovagal reflex, leading to the characteristic symptoms of vasovagal syncope.

Which Vaccines Have Been Linked to Vasovagal Syncope?

While vasovagal syncope can occur in various situations, some vaccines have been reported to trigger this condition in rare instances. These vaccines include the flu vaccine, the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, the meningococcal vaccine, and the tetanus vaccine.

Symptoms of Vasovagal Syncope

Vasovagal syncope is typically preceded by a set of warning signs that may include:

  • Lightheadedness: A sensation of dizziness or feeling faint.
  • Pale skin: Noticeable paleness or loss of skin color.
  • Nausea: A feeling of sickness or urge to vomit.
  • Sweating: Excessive perspiration without apparent cause.
  • Blurred vision: Vision disturbances like blurriness or tunnel vision.
  • Weakness: Sudden muscle weakness, making it hard to stay upright.
  • Yawning: Frequent yawning unrelated to tiredness.

The symptoms associated with vasovagal syncope are common and can be experienced by individuals of all ages. Most fainting episodes related to vaccines are short-lived and do not result in long-term health problems. However, in some cases, fainting can lead to falls and injuries, emphasizing the importance of being aware of the early warning signs.

Compensation for Claims

Individuals who experience vasovagal syncope following a vaccination may be eligible for compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Compensation can include medical expenses for emergency care, follow-up visits, and any necessary treatments. 

It can also cover lost wages if you are unable to work due to your medical condition, financial relief for pain and suffering, and the costs involved in filing a claim and securing representation.

  • 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).

  • Do I have a Case for Damages?

    Our law firm will advise you whether you have a case. It depends upon the type of vaccination you received, the timing of the adverse reaction, your current diagnosis, and whether you have achieved recovery. In complicated cases, an expert medical opinion will be necessary to determine the viability of a case.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.
