Both attorney and client were knowledgeable about the limitations of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program designed to protect industry from litigation from their dangerous products. The attorney frankly revealed that other litigants who had temporary and less severe injury were initially offered h...igher compensation from the DOJ whereas I who sustained apparent permanent severe peripheral nerve damage had to reject 3 offers to reach the same monetary settlement. It is within the realm of possibility that I might have received higher compensation had I persevered and rejected a settlement, as encouraged, but the NVICP is not known for their generosity and I did not want to inconvenience my Medical Experts, to whom I am also grateful, by requiring them to suspend their thriving practices to provide testimony out of state.
