NVIC Law Firm Directory

The National Vaccine Information Center is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to educating parents and the general public about childhood diseases and vaccinations in order to prevent vaccine deaths and injuries. As part of our responsibility to adults and parents of vaccine damaged children, we have prepared this Law Firm Directory.

This directory has been compiled to assist you in choosing an attorney to help evaluate your situation and help determine if you have grounds for a lawsuit or compensation claim under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Program. We have attempted to provide you with a starting point. We realize that when a family is considering legal action they need to find a lawyer who recognizes that a vaccine can cause a permanent injury or death. Most of the attorneys in this Directory have experience in the vaccine injury field and have developed valuable expertise in this area. Some more than others.

A questionnaire was mailed to attorneys and they were charged a fee for their listing in our directory. These are not all of the lawyers who handle vaccine injury cases, however, it is a good place to start if you are considering legal action. We suggest you contact several attorneys handling these claims before making your final decision. We do not endorse or recommend any one law firm over another.

We encourage you to approach the hiring of an attorney as a consumer, and ask questions until you feel comfortable with your choice. Because this is a federal system, you do not need to have an attorney from your state. You will have only one chance to pursue financial compensation for your child and you need to find the lawyer who best suits your needs. Each attorney may have a different way of dealing with fees and costs associated with your case. You may have experts evaluate medical records, costs of depositions, transportation, photocopying, etc. You should carefully discuss this with any prospective attorney so that you are not surprised by bills you did not anticipate. Determine ahead of time how these will be paid.

We have chosen to list firms by the type of vaccine cases they are representing. Click on the vaccine you suspect caused the problem to see the attorneys handling these types of cases. We hope you find this directory helpful in determining the best course of action for your family. The following guide will only provide a snapshot of information on each law firm. Please check out any firm carefully before you choose one.
