Legal Question in Federal Tort Claims in District of Columbia
Federal Vaccine Injury Fund
Is it too late to file a claim and join 4,800 nationwide claimants that are claiming that the thimersol laced MMR Vaccines caused Autism in our son? Where
does one obtain the claim forms? The hearings in Washington come to an end 06/29/07. We hadn't
even learned of the hearings until a week ago. If we do not
join the claimants will
we be forever barred
from the claim? Time is
of the essence.

Re: Federal Vaccine Injury Fund
You may wish to contact the United States Court of Federal Claims, Clerk's Office, 717 Madison Pl., N.W. Washington DC 20005, where a special vaccine panel is now holding hearings on Thimerasol, to determine how and whether you may still join this class action suit which is now before this court for special hearings on the issue of whether there's any link between this mercury based additive and the development of autism in children who received this additive in vaccines designed to prevent various childhood diseases.(The experts apparently say no, there is no such link.)
