Intussusception & Vaccines

Fighting for Vaccine Injury Victims – Get the Compensation You Deserve

A rare complication like intussusception deserves serious legal support—our team helps families secure financial compensation without going to court. Intussusception is a serious intestinal injury where one part of the intestine slides into another—causing a painful and dangerous blockage. It often appears in infants and toddlers and, in rare cases, has occurred following a rotavirus vaccine. The condition requires urgent care and sometimes surgical intervention, especially when it causes bowel obstruction, severe dehydration, or intestinal tissue damage. For parents, it’s not only a medical emergency—it’s a financial and emotional one.

The federal government acknowledges this connection. Intussusception is one of the vaccine related injuries eligible for compensation under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This is a no-fault system set up to help families—not punish doctors. At My Vaccine Lawyer, our team of experienced vaccine injury attorneys and litigators helps families file vaccine injury claims, pursue justice, and recover what they’re owed when complications follow routine childhood vaccinations.

Our vaccine injury lawyers assist families dealing with intussusception cases after rotavirus vaccination—legal support starts with a conversation.

Hear Cheryl's Vaccine Injury Story

 

Cheryl, a former client of My Vaccine Lawyer, shares her experience with Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) following a flu shot. She describes the sudden onset of pain, limited shoulder mobility, and a long recovery process that led her to seek legal help from attorney Max Muller.

With his support, Cheryl filed a successful claim through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and received a settlement covering her medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. SIRVA symptoms typically include sudden pain within 48 hours of vaccination, restricted range of motion, and discomfort that can last for weeks or months.

What Makes Intussusception a Vaccine Injury?

While intussusception is rare, it is legally recognized as a compensable injury when it follows a rotavirus vaccination. This means families affected by this serious medical condition do not have to prove fault or wrongdoing to qualify for help. The injury has been documented in vaccine injury claims and is covered under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program—making it one of the few conditions with a known link to a specific vaccine. Understanding where it fits in legally is the first step toward filing a claim.

Is Intussusception on the Vaccine Injury Table?

Yes. The Vaccine Injury Table, maintained by the Health Resources and Services Administration, lists intussusception as a compensable injury following the rotavirus vaccine. It must be diagnosed within a specific time frame after vaccination. When these conditions are met, the law presumes the vaccine caused the injury—so the family does not have to prove causation. This simplifies the legal process and strengthens your vaccine claim when handled properly by a qualified vaccine injury attorney.

Which Vaccines Are Linked to Intussusception?

Intussusception occurs most commonly after the rotavirus vaccine, a routine immunization given to infants. While it's one of the most effective vaccines for preventing dangerous gastrointestinal illness, it has been associated with vaccine related injuries in rare cases. The condition has also been evaluated in the context of other vaccines, though no other vaccine currently carries the same legal presumption. That said, any adverse reaction must be reviewed seriously—especially when symptoms match known outcomes.

How It Becomes a Legal Case for Compensation

For a vaccine injury to qualify for compensation, the condition must follow the vaccine in a medically reasonable time frame. In cases involving intussusception, that typically means the child had clear initial symptoms—such as intense abdominal pain, vomiting, or blood in the stool—within 21 days of a rotavirus vaccination. With medical confirmation and supporting records, this meets the legal threshold under the vaccine injury compensation program, opening the door for a structured claim.

What Makes These Injuries Legally Serious?

This is not a minor or passing illness. Intussusception is a serious condition that may lead to bowel obstruction, damage to intestinal tissue, and internal bleeding. Promptly treated, it may be resolved with a non-surgical procedure. But in severe cases, delayed diagnosis can result in surgical intervention, risk of bowel perforation, and in the worst outcomes—even death. These complications justify not only medical urgency—but legal recognition and financial compensation.

We help parents file intussusception-related claims through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program—legal support starts with a free consultation.

How the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Helps Families

The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) was created to support families affected by rare but serious vaccine related injuries—without forcing them to take doctors, nurses, or hospitals to court. This federal program operates as a no-fault system, designed to handle claims fairly and efficiently. When a condition like intussusception is linked to a routine vaccine, families can pursue compensation without having to prove that anyone made a mistake. This structure protects both the patient and the provider while still making room for legal recovery.

Funding comes directly from the vaccines themselves. Each vaccination dose administered in the U.S.—including the rotavirus vaccine—includes a surcharge paid by vaccine manufacturers. That money is used to fund compensation payments, including medical expenses, lost wages, and out of pocket expenses related to the injury. Since the program began, billions have been awarded to claimants. When your child is affected by a condition like intussusception, this system makes it possible to pursue injury compensation while focusing on care—not conflict.

What You Need to File a Claim and Receive Compensation

To file a successful claim for intussusception, you’ll need clear proof that your child was diagnosed after a qualifying vaccination dose, and that the symptoms meet the criteria listed in the vaccine injury table. This typically includes medical records confirming intussusception diagnosed within 21 days of receiving a rotavirus vaccine, along with treatment documentation and a physician’s assessment. If surgery was performed or if there were complications like severe dehydration or bowel obstruction, this helps establish the seriousness of the injury and supports your legal claim.

The entire process is handled through the VICP, and there are no legal costs or attorney’s fees charged to you directly. The program covers those as part of your claim. Families may receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and any related out of pocket expenses. If you're a legal guardian filing on behalf of a child, our law firm manages everything—from gathering documentation to presenting the case. With decades of experience handling vaccine claims, we know how to build a case that results in financial compensation—without delay or stress on your end.
