In most cases, even when a death occurred after COVID-19 vaccination, causation was not recognized and compensation was denied.
In fact, the standards were so strict that only a very small portion of thousands of applications were accepted.
In this video, we explain a case in which a denial of causation after death following vaccination was overturned through administrative litigation, as well as the significance of the ruling.
Under the existing approach, compensation was often denied if the case did not fall under specific side effects recognized by vaccine manufacturers, such as TTS or myocarditis, or if the person had an underlying disease.
In particular, when the cause of death appeared to be myocardial infarction or a similar condition, causation was often not recognized.
However, in this case, the court took a different view and held that causation could not be denied merely because an underlying disease existed.
The court recognized causation by comprehensively considering the person??s health condition, the degree of the underlying disease, symptoms that appeared after vaccination, and the timeline of events.
? Key significance of this ruling Presented a more flexible standard for determining causation than before Recognized not only vaccine manufacturer standards but also medical inference Opened the possibility of compensation even when an underlying disease exists
In addition, if adverse reactions occurred within a certain period after vaccination, cases that were previously denied may now have a possibility of being reviewed again.
Objective materials regarding temporal proximity, such as symptoms occurring within several days to several weeks after vaccination, and the person??s health condition become important standards.
In short, even in vaccine death cases that were previously difficult to have recognized, legal standards for judgment are changing, and results may differ depending on the individual case.
Even if an application for compensation has already been denied, it may be necessary to review the course of the case and the available materials again.
What matters is not simple speculation, but building causation based on medical grounds and legal reasoning.
