State Compensation Scheme

The Impfschadengesetz[29] (Code on Damages caused by Vaccination, ImpfschadenG) provides that the Austrian State can be held liable for certain damages[30] caused by vaccination proscribed by law. This state compensation is therefore granted for damage through vaccination that is caused by a product defect. In addition the damaged person can claim compensation for damages exceeding the amount of compensation provided by the state from the manufacturer. If the State has granted the damages, claims which can be brought by the damaged person, based for instance on the PHG, are transmitted to the State which can then bring a claim on its account.

29. BGBl 1973/371 idgF.

30. Explicitly see ยง 2 ImpfschadenG.
