Court: Families of people who died after Covid vaccination may seek compensation

The Czech Supreme Court has ruled that relatives of people who died as a result of complications linked to Covid-19 vaccination may be entitled to compensation for emotional suffering. The decision came in the case of a Prague man whose 77-year-old father died from a pulmonary embolism shortly after receiving a third vaccine dose. The court said close family members can claim damages if a death is proven to be causally linked to vaccination. The case will now return to a lower court, which will reconsider the son’s claim for compensation. The ruling clarifies how Czech compensation laws apply to Covid vaccination cases.
