On behalf of the Vaccine Injured Petitioners Bar Association (VIP Bar), I extend my heartfelt greeting to all who turn to us in pursuit of justice, healing, and hope. We are a national alliance of attorneys united by a singular mission: to represent individuals and families who have suffered serious adverse effects from vaccines under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Our purpose is to ensure that these petitioners—often marginalized or overlooked—have access to rigorous, compassionate legal representation and a voice in the halls of justice. Through mentorship, continuing education, and coordinated advocacy, we empower our members to navigate the complexities of vaccine injury law with integrity and excellence. We also engage with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the Department of Justice, and elected officials to promote transparency, fairness, and sound reform of the VICP. Above all, VIP Bar is committed to upholding the rights of the vaccine-injured, fostering a community of support, and restoring dignity for those affected by vaccine injury.
The Vaccine Injured Petitioners Bar Association was founded in January 2010 to promote professional interaction among members of the Bar in order to improve advocacy for their vaccine injured clients. The VIP Bar is comprised exclusively of lawyers representing petitioners in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is a highly specialized legal practice with legal, procedural, and evidentiary differences that can challenge even the most accomplished civil litigator. VIP Bar members get exclusive access to the cumulative knowledge and experience of the leading practitioners in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, as well as invaluable insight into the current challenges facing the Court and practitioners.
To support and elevate attorneys practicing in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program by fostering collaboration, mentorship, and access to resources that improve legal advocacy and outcomes for the vaccine-injured.
To work alongside the U.S. Court of Federal Claims Office of Special Masters, the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, lawmakers, agencies, and the public to advance legislative and regulatory reforms that enhance fairness, access, and efficiency within the Program.
To promote greater understanding of the unique structure and purpose of the VICP, and to clarify how it differs from traditional civil litigation, thereby equipping both attorneys and the public to better navigate this specialized compensation system.
By joining the VIP Bar Association, you will instantly receive access to critical documents, CLE information, pleadings, motions, briefs, critical case law and presentation materials that can greatly assist your practice. Most critically, you will get to converse with fellow practitioners about current events and recent trends that may affect your practice. If you represent individuals who have suffered adverse events from vaccines, joining the VIP Bar is a must.
The VIP Bar is a group of experts in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program providing advice and ideas on specific challenges facing vaccine attorneys. The
VIP Bar serves both experienced vaccine attorneys and those new to the practice area. It is a resource for vaccine attorneys where they can share information with other vaccine attorneys. Shared information includes procedures, expert witnesses, settlement information and invaluable analysis of the current special masters hearing the cases – critical information for attorneys practicing in a Court with an increasingly overloaded docket.
The VIP Bar’s mission is three-fold: First, to empower lawyers practicing in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to better advocate for their vaccine injured clients; second, to work with all stakeholders to better improve
the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program so that it might better achieve its mission as directed by Congress, that is to compensate vaccine injured petitioners; and third, to better educate the Bar and the public on the significant differences between the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and typical civil litigation.
The Vaccine Injured Petitioners Bar Association (VIPBA) is a national legal organization composed of attorneys who represent individuals in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Our mission is to support high-quality legal advocacy for those injured by vaccines and to ensure that their rights are protected within the VICP system.
