Conway, Homer & Chin-Caplan, P.C. (CHC) specializes in obtaining compensation for persons injured by routine vaccinations. To do so, CHC files claims for compensation in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The VICP was established by Congress in 1986 to protect vaccine manufacturers from law suits and to compensate people who can prove vaccine-related injuries. The VICP is administered jointly by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and the U.S. Department of Justice. Prior to the existence of the VICP, CHC sued vaccine manufacturers for causing injuries due to defective vaccines. Since 1986, CHC has resolved hundreds of claims in the VICP resulting in awards of millions of dollars. At present, CHC represents vaccine-injured people in all 50 states.
