Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Get Nationally Acclaimed Legal Representation

Multiple Sclerosis Lawyers 

Representing the Vaccine Injured Nationwide in Federal Claims

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers, leading to inflammation and subsequent nerve damage. This damage disrupts the communication between the brain and the rest of the body, resulting in a wide array of neurological symptoms.

While the exact cause of MS is unknown, some reports suggest a potential link between the disease and vaccinations. The mechanism is not fully understood, but it is hypothesized that vaccines may trigger an autoimmune response in susceptible individuals. Vaccines potentially associated with such triggers can include the hepatitis B vaccine and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.

Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates has served nationwide clients in vaccine injuries for decades. Because our focus has centered on this complex legal field, our team has gained invaluable experience in pursuing compensation for our clients. This pursuit falls under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This federal program provides financial support for those who have suffered physically and financially from vaccine injuries and medical conditions.

What are Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis?

The symptoms of MS can vary widely among individuals and depend on the extent and location of nerve damage. Common symptoms include:

  • Fatigue: A persistent and overwhelming sense of tiredness not relieved by rest.
  • Numbness and tingling: Often occurs in the face, body, arms, and legs.
  • Weakness: Muscle weakness, especially in the legs, which can affect balance and coordination.
  • Vision problems: Blurred or double vision, partial or complete vision loss, often in one eye at a time.
  • Mobility issues: Difficulty walking, frequent stumbling, and loss of balance.
  • Spasticity: Muscle stiffness and involuntary spasms, particularly in the legs.
  • Cognitive changes: Problems with memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
  • Pain: Chronic pain or discomfort, such as burning sensations and nerve pain.

Symptoms like the above can significantly impact the lives of those affected, causing physical, emotional, and social challenges. The unpredictable nature of MS, with its periods of remission and flare-ups, can lead to uncertainty and anxiety. 

Individuals may struggle with mobility, independence, and maintaining employment. Families often take on caregiver roles, requiring emotional and physical support that can be demanding and stressful. The need for ongoing medical care and potential disability can also create financial strain, affecting the family’s overall well-being.

What are Treatments for Multiple Sclerosis?

Managing MS typically involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes:

  • Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs): These medications can reduce the frequency and severity of relapses and slow disease progression.
  • Corticosteroids: Used to reduce inflammation and manage acute relapses.
  • Physical therapy: To improve mobility, strength, and balance.
  • Occupational therapy: To help individuals adapt to their physical limitations and maintain daily activities.
  • Pain management: Medications and therapies to alleviate chronic pain.
  • Supportive treatments: Including counseling, support groups, and lifestyle modifications to manage symptoms and enhance quality of life.

MS's prognosis depends on each person's circumstances, including their general health, age, and other factors. Some patients experience mild symptoms and manage well with treatment, while others may have more severe disease progression leading to significant disability. 

Early diagnosis and effective management are crucial for improving long-term outcomes. Advancements in treatment options continue to offer hope for better disease control and improved quality of life for MS patients.

Seeking Compensation for Vaccine-Triggered MS

If MS is suspected to be triggered by a vaccination, affected individuals may be eligible for compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Compensation can include medical expenses for treatment and ongoing management of the disease, income lost due to inability to work, pain and suffering, and coverage for the legal fees associated with filing a claim. 

To secure compensation, a claim must include documentation of the MS diagnosis, treatment history, and any relevant medical opinions linking the condition to vaccination. This can consist of statements from medical experts supporting the causal relationship between the vaccination and the onset of MS. Other required documentation includes evidence of lost wages, medical expenses, and the impact of MS on daily life.

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • What Can I Get From a Vaccine Claim?

    The compensation under the law includes pain and suffering, loss of earnings, reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses (not reimbursed by insurance), as well as past and future life care plan costs including attendant care, home modifications, and adaptive devices as required. Additionally, no attorney’s fees or cost are charged to the injured party (Petitioner).

  • 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.
