Were You Or Someone You Know Injured by a Covid Vaccine That Was Required For Employment?

How to File a Worker's Compensation Claim

It’s past my bedtime but this excellent article on Children’s Health Defense should be shared far and wide. With cumulative excess deaths and disability rates climbing I suspect that there are a fair number of people who dropped out of the labor force due to injuries from the jabs. Most government run vaccine injury compensation programs, as I noted yesterday, are a total joke. Some people have to be running out of money and desperately need help. If they were mandated to take the Covid “vaccine” as a condition of employment, this could be an option:

“In an Aug. 24 interview with CHD.TV’s “Good Morning CHD,” Hollingsworth said this means that “if you were mandated to take the COVID vaccine as a condition of employment and you were injured, you are entitled to file a workers’ compensation claim.”

Carlisle noted that the two legal avenues are “not mutually exclusive, it’s not one or the other,” but that workers’ compensation claims are “an avenue that’s a lot easier right now.”

Carlisle also pointed out that workers’ compensation “is a no-fault system” in states like New York, where he is licensed, “so there are a lot fewer hurdles you have to jump through.”

Carlisle said “no-fault” means that employers can’t hide behind claims that the government compelled them to issue a mandate:

“That’s not a defense … It’s no-fault. I don’t have to prove it’s anyone’s fault. I don’t have to prove Pfizer was negligent. I don’t have to prove the employer was negligent.

“All I have to do [is] to prove that they were within the course and scope of their employment and they got injured and that their vaccination relates to that injury. That’s it.”

Hollingsworth, in a May 23 presentation, explained that employees also can file workers’ compensation claims in situations where, even without an explicit mandate, an employee faced “coercion, exclusion, discrimination,” where they were “ostracized by their co-workers or it was strongly suggested that they get the vaccine.”

“I believe you would be able to show … causation there, whether your employer requested you to have it, mandated or not,” Hollingsworth said.

Many different types of injuries can be considered work-related, as long as “employment is the main factor that exposes him or her to the situation that caused the injury,” Hollingsworth said, adding that some states, such as California, often liberally construe facts in favor of the injured worker.

Hollingsworth also said case law has often recognized compensation for aggravation of “pre-existing non-industrial issues related to … vaccination,” such as if the vaccine “aggravated a pre-existing autoimmune disorder or pre-existing heart condition.”

Employees also sometimes can make claims of psychological and emotional distress.

“You’re allowed treatment and in other cases, additional compensation for any psychological damage as a result of said injuries,” Hollingsworth said. “If you’re having any kind of physical reaction to a vaccination, like an anaphylactic shock or any other kind of subsequent injury, we could even go as far as to allege emotional distress.”

He added:

“Many [claimants] didn’t want to get the vaccination and were told they were going to be terminated. It caused severe emotional distress for them to have to choose between injecting themselves or not wanting to take the shot.”

Cumulative adverse health effects, such as “a large buildup of toxicity,” resulting from multiple vaccinations and boosters also could form the basis for a claim, said Hollingsworth in the May presentation, as could secondary injuries, such as falling and getting injured after fainting, if the vaccination caused the initial fainting.

This makes a workers’ compensation claim more attractive for most vaccine injury victims, Flores said. “If you file a workers’ compensation claim, not only does the claim get started, there are initial payments that start being made right out of the gate.”

Hollingsworth said he and other workers’ compensation attorneys “work on contingency, so it doesn’t cost anything to file.” He told CHD.TV viewers in August that it’s a “no-lose situation” for applicants.

“The attorneys taking the case, at least here in California, charge anywhere between 15-18%, sometimes up to 20% at some firms if it’s a very complex case that drags on, but usually it’s 15%,” Hollingsworth said. “There’s no upfront fee, there’s no filing fee, there’s no cost deducted from your recovery. It’s all paid for by the insurance carrier. So there’s really no reason not to file [a claim] if you’re injured.”

Families who lost a loved one because of vaccine injury, where the vaccine was mandated by the employer, may apply for workers’ compensation death benefits, Hollingsworth said.

In California, the death benefit is $320,000 for an individual with two dependents, and $250,000 for an unmarried person with no dependents.

In his May presentation, Hollingsworth said that in California, this benefit is paid out as “two-thirds of your average weekly wage” but “oftentimes people want to settle for a lump sum, depending on the nature of the case, which is often discounted at present value.” He added that families would be “entitled to funeral and burial expenses.”

So it sounds like some lawyers are getting on board. But are there doctors who are willing to acknowledge that the jab could have caused an injury or death?

“In terms of workers’ compensation … there are a lot of doctors who are afraid to come forward who do believe in what we’re doing, but that’s changing. Even doctors that are skeptical, who were on the other side, are seeing such an influx of young injured people coming to their practices, especially the internal medicine doctors, the heart doctors … we’re seeing a changing of the tide.”

Statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis support Hollingsworth’s assertion that there is a growing number of vaccine injury victims. The data indicate a significant increase in disability claims in 2021 and 2022.

The number of disabled individuals in the U.S. hovered between 29.974 million in April 2016 and 30.612 million in April 2017, while the number of disabled persons in the workforce ranged between 5.811 million in October 2015 and 6.335 million in June 2017.

By October 2021, these figures increased to 31.195 million and 6.987 million, respectively. And by October 2022, the figures were 32.819 million and 7.797 million.

I do wonder what the standard is for “coercion.” Does that include differential quarantine or masking requirements, inability to travel to certain places or meet with clients due to being unjabbed, peer pressure, or being threatened to be passed up for promotion? Does it include incentives to get vaccinated, such as bonuses, gift cards, or recognitions, even if there was no threat of losing your job if you weren’t? Or does it only include the direct get the jab or you’ll be terminated proposition? I anticipate a flood of claims.

This person in the comments section worried about the opposite problem:

As the owner of a small Music Therapy company, I did NOT mandate the "shots"; in fact, as much as possible, I tried to tell my music therapists to do their homework, and make sure they understood the ramifications of getting the shot. Out of 14 people, 5 decided immediately against the shots, one held out as long as possible until her family leaned on her, and she finally got the shot, some waited a while but eventually gave in to the pressures of family and friends, and the rest couldn't WAIT to get the dang things, putting their trust in a very corrupt "health care" system. Several of them have had reactions, five got Covid immediately after getting the shots (they had gone a whole year without coming down with covid). Unfortunately, my therapist who held out for a long time, but then got the shot, was hospitalized with heart problems and had to stop working completely and move back home; three of my therapists who got all the shots are sick constantly, with covid and other illnesses, yet they still cannot wait to get the next "booster".

I did not force them to get the shots. If they use workmen's comp, it will harm ME. Our rates will go through the roof, and since this was a decision they made ON THEIR OWN, I do not think that is a good or fair path. I say, they need to get after the people responsible, not the small business owner who tried her best to STOP them from making this horrible mistake.

I have spent the past two plus years trying to educate folks about the dangers of these shots. How is it that the blame will come back on ME?

Of course if her workers are still in denial regarding their deteriorating health, then perhaps there is nothing to worry about. But here’s hoping this information finds someone in need….
