The High Court has decided that individuals affected by the anti-COVID vaccine can claim compensation from the Romanian state and the manufacturers of the serums.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (ÎCCJ) has established that individuals who claim to have suffered due to the anti-COVID vaccination can seek compensation not only from manufacturers but also from the Romanian state. The judges decided that lawsuits can be initiated both based on the law regarding liability for defective products and on the laws that regulate the errors or negligence of authorities. This means that if a person believes they have been affected by the vaccine and that the authorities have made a mistake, they can sue the state in court.

The decision was made in the context of a case in which a woman from Sălaj requested compensation of 100,000 euros, accusing the state and the vaccine manufacturer of serious health problems after immunization. The ÎCCJ confirmed that the case must be judged on its merits, thus opening the way for other affected individuals to seek compensation. The court emphasized that the guilt of the vaccines is not being established, but rather the right of individuals to have their cases analyzed in court.
