ADVERTISEMENTS

"High court: Atlanta couple can sue over vaccination; Marcelo and Carolyn Ferrari can take case to court over son's disabilities." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution provides a news update that begins, "An Atlanta couple's lawsuit against vaccine manufacturers can go to trial on claims a childhood vaccine caused neurological damage to their young son, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled Monday. In a landmark decision, the state high court unanimously ruled that Marcelo and Carolyn Ferrari's lawsuit is not barred by the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act. The court upheld a prior decision by the Georgia Court of Appeals, which was the first appellate court in the nation to make such a ruling."

And law.com reports that "Ga. Supreme Court Backs Vaccine Suit in Autism Case; Conflicting with courts around the U.S., state Supreme Court says Congress didn't intend to 'pre-empt all design defect claims.'"
