Q: What are my legal options if I suspect my father died due to covid-19 vaccine complications? Date of death was 11/2021
Cause of death was V-Fib, and he died before his second dose of the vaccine. Knowing now that the vaccine causes myocarditis, and myocarditis causes V-Fib, I can't help but suspect the vaccine was the culprit.
A: Probably none. The statutory period within which to assert a claim has expired. Under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), claims must be filed within three years from the first symptom or manifestation of the injury. This statute of limitations is crucial for determining eligibility for compensation. For detailed information, refer to the Health Resources and Services Administration's guidelines on filing a claim.
