Ms. Widman has seven (7) years of experience working in the Court of Federal Claims, also known as the “Vaccine Court,” and continues to focus her practice in this highly specialized area.

She and her team work hard to win compensation for the victims’ pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, and more.
The Court of Federal Claims began as part of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986. This special court hears exclusively vaccine related injury claims. The adversary in the Court of Federal Claims is always the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), a government entity, rather than the manufacturers or administrators of the vaccine. While the Vaccine court was initially created in response to lawsuits stemming from injuries to children, there are now at least equal to, if not more, adult injury claims filed each month as compared to minors.
The Court of Federal Claims is physically located in Washington, DC, but the majority of vaccine injury matters are taken care of remotely from start to finish. This provides victims of vaccine injuries with great flexibility and access to pursuing their claims. Injured persons can often bring their claims in this Court with the representation of an admitted attorney such as Phyllis Widman, Esq. without having to ever physically appear in court. The accessibility of this Court allows victims from all over Georgia, and the rest of the country, to fight for compensation for their injuries from wherever they may be.
