AstraZeneca, how to obtain compensation. Lawyer Vitali indicates the procedure –

AstraZeneca said it has started a worldwide recall of its Covid-19 vaccine. The decision was justified with a “surplus of updated vaccines available”, but the Anglo-Swedish company at the end of April admitted for the first time in court documents during legal proceedings in London that its anti-Covid vaccine can cause thrombosis as a rare side effect. The admission might pave the way for multimillion-dollar settlements, at least according to media reports. According to what we learn, two paths are viable: that of compensation, in fact, and that of compensation. But what are the procedures? The civil lawyer Paolo Vitali clarified this, speaking to Il Messaggero.

In the case of compensation, there is a law (210/1992) according to which the State is required to pay “anyone who has suffered, due to vaccinations required by law or by order of an Italian health authority, injuries or infirmities, from which resulted in a permanent impairment of psycho-physical integrity”, explained the lawyer. The money must also be paid for those who have experienced permanent lessons regarding “psycho-physical integrity, due to the anti Sars-CoV-2 vaccination recommended by the Italian health authority”.

The other possibility, as mentioned, might be that of compensation. However, “malicious or negligent conduct” must be certified, explains the lawyer, “which might be considered the production and marketing of vaccines” with the injured party having to demonstrate “only the causal link between the activity or product and the damage suffered. In the case of vaccination once morest Covid-19, it will be necessary but also sufficient to demonstrate that the complication (thrombosis) occurred immediately following taking the vaccine”, added Vitali.
