Questions & advice on vaccine damage

How do you prove vaccine damage?

First of all, the injured party only has to prove the low probability of harm caused by the vaccine. 

To provide evidence of vaccine injury, a written diagnosis from a physician is useful. It may be important that the patient's verbally described symptoms are reflected in the treating physician's written findings. 

Therefore, vaccine-injured patients are advised to keep a medical diary, which also includes a record of their visits to the doctor, in order to document the most precise possible picture of the course of the illness and the contents discussed verbally with the doctor.
 
This helps those affected to be able to present their complaints in a documented form even after the fact, which is relevant for the amount of compensation.

What severe symptoms often occur in cases of vaccine injury?

The most common symptoms of vaccine damage include:
– Inflammations of the heart muscle such as myocarditis and pericarditis
– Vascular diseases such as thrombosis, including cerebral vein thrombosis or sinus vein thrombosis
– Nerve damage such as tremor – an uncontrolled shaking

Can an immunological blood test help prove vaccine damage?

If vaccine damage is suspected, it is recommended to have an immunological blood count performed, which determines the immune status based on the TH1 and TH2 values.
 
In the best case scenario, a doctor, expert or medical service will determine, based on laboratory results, that vaccine damage is likely.

What documents are needed to file a lawsuit?

Photocopy of the vaccination card (not the vaccination certificates) and, if possible, the information sheet
Personal description of the health history, e.g. in a medical diary
Any existing diagnoses, doctor's reports, laboratory results, blood counts
Optional: Determination notice from the responsible pension office

These documents prove that the person has been vaccinated and that the resulting health damage is a possible consequence of the vaccination.

Who is liable for vaccine damage?

The question of liability for vaccine damage primarily concerns the manufacturer of the vaccine.

How high can the compensation be?

Compensation for pain and suffering and a compensation pension are recoverable, as are material damages such as loss of earnings and co-payments for medication. In cases of lasting damage to the immune system or severe permanent injuries, compensation in the six-figure range—approximately €150,000—can be expected.

Who is entitled to benefits from the social security office?

According to the Infection Protection Act (IfSG), individuals who have suffered harm as a result of mandatory or publicly recommended vaccinations are entitled to benefits, which must be applied for at the social security office of the respective federal state. According to the Robert Koch Institute, the health department can provide assistance in clarifying the case and initiating the compensation process. If the social security office rejects the application, legal recourse can be taken to the social courts. A much more attractive option, however, is a civil lawsuit against the manufacturer. Claims for compensation in the form of material and non-material damages (compensation for pain and suffering) may be filed against the manufacturer.

When do we speak of vaccine damage?

Vaccine damage can be assumed if, as in the Section 2 No. 11 Vaccination Protection Act (IfSG) described, the immune reaction goes beyond the usual extent of a vaccination reaction and thus has serious health and economic consequences for those affected.
It is also a vaccine injury if the vaccination was carried out with pathogens capable of reproduction and relatives or third parties have to suffer health and economic consequences because they were infected by the pathogens of the vaccinated person.

What do health insurance companies cover?

In the event of vaccine damage, health insurance companies cover the medical treatment costs of their insured members. Section 63 (6) IfSG goes with reference to § 20 Federal Constitutional Court Act It is clearly stated that a certain proportion of the treatment costs covered will be reimbursed by the state to the health insurance funds.

What does legal protection insurance cover?

If medical malpractice or incorrect advice is involved, legal expenses insurance provides protection when asserting claims for damages. Depending on the coverage, it covers legal costs. However, legal expenses insurance only applies if the contract was in place three months before the damage occurred.

Am I entitled to legal aid?

If you do not have the financial means to pay for a procedure, you can Apply for legal aid (PKH). Through legal aid, the state covers the costs incurred by the court and the client’s own lawyer. Only your own costs are covered.
The costs are then billed directly to the state treasury. The affected person is either exempt from the costs entirely or reimbursed (partially) in installments.
Even if you apply for legal aid, you still have the right to choose your own lawyer. The court will then assign you the lawyer you prefer upon request. We will, of course, submit this application for you.

What requirements must be met to be granted legal aid?

Legal aid (PKH) is usually granted in accordance with Section 114 of the Code of Civil Procedure It is important to note that due to your personal and financial circumstances, you may not be able to raise the necessary financial resources for the process at all, only partially, or only in installments (financial needHowever, the lawsuit must not be completely hopeless and there must be no legal expenses insurance that would cover the costs.
If you would like to apply for legal aid, please contact us; we will apply for it for you when you file your lawsuit.
