Parents of many
autistic children were angered by the legislation that protected Eli
Lilly from legal responsibility for the autism in children caused by
their product, autism from Thimerosal. Due to the protections that were put in place
for that company in the Homeland Security Bill, for a time, any
Thimerosal legal claims were limited to the federal Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program. Thankfully, that part of the legislation was
rescinded -- as many legislators believe in the strong link between
these vaccines and autism and were not willing to let the manufacturer
off the hook for children who suffered autism from Thimerosal.
Options for anyone wishing to sue thimerosal vaccine
manufacturers for autism in children, under this program are admittedly
limited. This is what drove several Congress members to update the
Homeland Security Bill to make Eli Lilly accountable for their actions.
Meanwhile, other companies that used thimerosal in their products
without expressing the possible dangers to doctors and parents of
children are gearing up for a legal battle. Many parents are claiming
that scientific research proves a correlation between any thimerosal
containing vaccine and autism from thimerosal. The studies are based on the sudden
dramatic rise in autism in children and are using this rise as proof
that the children developed autism from Thimerosal. This litigation
seeks to prove that there is a link between Thimerosal's mercury and
autism.
If you have a child or
loved one that has suffered autism from Thimerosal, or if you even
suspect autism in a child from Thimerosal, you should
contact the office of Monheit Law immediately
to see if you have a case.
Do I have a case for autism from
