Under the VICP, you generally have 3 years from the first symptom to file an injury claim. For death claims, the deadline is 2 years from the date of death and 4 years from the first symptom. These federal deadlines apply in Illinois.

No. The VICP is federal. We represent Illinois residents injured anywhere in the U.S., and we also represent non-residents who were vaccinated in Illinois.

• Past and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• Pain and suffering (up to $250,000)
• Death benefits (up to $250,000)
• Attorney fees and costs (paid by the program, not taken from your award)

Timelines vary by injury and record complexity. Many cases resolve within 12–18 months. Straightforward SIRVA claims may resolve faster; complex neurologic cases (e.g., GBS, CIDP, TM) may take longer.

• Comprehensive medical records (ER, PCP, ortho, neuro, PT)
• Vaccination proof (date, location, lot if available)
• A clear onset timeline tied to vaccination
• Work/earnings documentation if claiming wage loss

We coordinate records statewide (Chicago/Cook, Collar Counties, Rockford & Northern IL, Central IL, Metro East, and more).

In most situations, no. The VICP is a no-fault program that compensates without proving negligence. Limited exceptions exist for willful misconduct. We’ll evaluate your facts and guide you to the appropriate path.

No out-of-pocket cost. The VICP pays reasonable attorney fees and case expenses directly, separate from your compensation.

Yes. SIRVA (Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration) occurs when a shot is injected too high/deep, injuring shoulder structures. It is covered under the VICP.

We’ve represented thousands of SIRVA clients nationwide, including many across Illinois.

No. VICP cases are heard in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., and are routinely handled remotely. We represent clients statewide without requiring office visits or travel.

Insurance can pay care initially; if you receive a VICP award, certain payers (including Medicaid) may assert liens that must be resolved from the medical-expense portion. We handle lien coordination as part of your case.
