Intussusception Get Nationally Acclaimed Legal Representation

Nationwide Intussusception Lawyers

We Pursue Compensation for the Vaccine Injured Across America

Intussusception is a serious medical condition where a part of the intestine folds into an adjacent section, similar to the way segments of a telescope slide into one another. This can lead to bowel obstruction, cutting off the blood supply to the affected part of the intestine and potentially leading to tissue death. Intussusception is most common in young children but can also occur in older children and adults.

Certain vaccines have been associated with an increased risk of intussusception, particularly in infants. These include the rotavirus vaccine, which can significantly reduce the risk of gastroenteritis, an infection that predominantly affects children. 

Intussusception is characterized by severe watery diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain. The illness can lead to significant dehydration, which is particularly dangerous for young children and can result in hospitalization. 

Rotavirus is highly contagious and spreads quickly through the fecal-oral route, often via contaminated hands, surfaces, or food. Vaccination has been highly effective in reducing the incidence of rotavirus gastroenteritis, though occasional cases still occur.

As a law firm focusing exclusively on vaccine injury claims made through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates can help you pursue federal compensation. If you believe you or your child has suffered intussusception due to vaccination, we urge you to consult with one of our attorneys as soon as possible.

What Can Happen to Children if Intussusception Is Not Treated?

If intussusception is not promptly treated in children, it can lead to severe complications and potentially life-threatening consequences. One of the most immediate dangers is bowel obstruction, which prevents food and fluids from passing through the intestines. 

This can result in extreme pain and vomiting. As the blood supply to the affected portion of the intestine is cut off, tissue death (necrosis) can occur, raising the risk of perforation (a hole in the intestinal wall). 

Perforation can lead to peritonitis, a severe infection of the abdominal cavity, which requires urgent medical intervention. Prolonged obstruction and infection can ultimately result in sepsis, an overwhelming and dangerous systemic response to infection that can be fatal if not treated.

Intussusception in Adults

Untreated intussusception can also have dire consequences in adults. Unlike in children, intussusception in adults is often secondary to another underlying condition, such as an inflammatory disease. If not treated, adults can experience severe complications similar to children, including bowel necrosis, perforation, and peritonitis. 

Additionally, untreated bowel obstruction can lead to significant fluid and electrolyte imbalances, which can affect organ function. Chronic obstruction can cause malnutrition due to the inability to properly digest and absorb nutrients. In severe cases, untreated intussusception in adults can also lead to sepsis and multi-organ failure, both of which are potentially fatal without prompt medical treatment.

Available Treatments & Recovery Prospects

Treatment for intussusception typically involves:

  • Air or barium enema: In many cases, an air or barium enema can be both diagnostic and therapeutic, successfully reducing intussusception without surgery.
  • Surgical intervention: If an enema isn’t successful or the patient is in a severe condition, surgical reduction (manually resectioning the intussuscepted part) is necessary.
  • Supportive care: Post-treatment care, including hydration, pain management, and monitoring for recurrence.

Recovery prospects vary depending on the promptness of treatment. Early detection and intervention usually result in favorable outcomes, while delayed treatment can lead to complications such as bowel perforation or infection.

Pursuing Vaccine Injury Compensation Through the Federal Claims Court

If you suspect a vaccination has triggered intussusception, you may be eligible to pursue compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). To obtain compensation, such as for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and legal costs, you must demonstrate evidence showing a relationship between vaccination and your medical condition. This must indicate that symptoms occurred within a recognized timeframe after immunization. You must also show that the condition was severe, required substantial medical intervention, and was not due to unrelated factors. 

Documentation and medical expert testimony is generally needed to support claims. Our firm can assist in preparing your claim, filing it, and representing you throughout the legal process. We offer individualized client care and are well-versed in vaccine injury litigation.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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).
