The US government has a compensation program to compensate people whose children are vaccine injured or died. It is slow and can take up to 8 years. The compensation cap is $250,000. Not necessarily enough to pay for our children's lifetime upkeep. I hope others will file real lawsuits with these attorneys. I think that will really shake things up and get research done faster.

First Mercury Poisoning-Vax Case Filed
[This is for our readers information only and should not be considered legal advice. From Autism Society of California, ASA newsletter.]
The law firm of Waters & Kraus, LLP, based in Dallas, Texas, announced today that it has filed the first known civil case alleging that the mercury-based preservative thimerosal, used recently in more than 30
childhood vaccines, has caused mercury poisoning in many children.
Counter, et al v. Abbott Laboratories, et al, (Cause No. GN 100866, 200th District Court - Travis County, Texas). The symptoms of mercury poisoning are, in many cases, identical to the symptoms of autism, although
the suit does not allege that all persons suffering from the symptoms of autism do so as a result of mercury poisoning. However, many children
suffering from mercury poisoning have been previously diagnosed with autism due to the similarity of symptoms.
Children have been exposed to cumulative levels of mercury from the vaccines that exceed threshold safety levels that have been established by
the United States Environmental Protection Agency. In many instances, children carry unmistakable evidence of mercury poisoning and the symptoms of mercury poisoning were first manifested after receiving vaccines tainted by thimerosal. In many cases, children exhibited normal neurological and other developmental patterns until such time as the cumulative dose of mercury caused irreparable damage to both the neurological and the general
developmental process. For example, many children had developed language and other skills that were later lost as the result of the cumulative exposure to mercury. Thimerosal is a mercury-based additive. Mercury has been known to be hazardous for literally hundreds of years, and its dangers have been well
known and documented during all times when the defendants manufactured and/or sold mercury-containing pediatric vaccine products.
Waters & Kraus anticipates that a significant number of individual cases against the vaccine industry will be filed in the near future. The firm anticipates investigating and prosecuting individual claims throughout the United States, in conjunction with the following firms and others:
