Court Dismisses Vaccine Damage Claim Against Biontech
In Baden-Württemberg, a court has ruled against a man who accused Biontech of causing nearly total blindness in one eye due to a coronavirus vaccination. The Rottweil Regional Court dismissed the 58-year-old plaintiff's lawsuit, declining to award him compensation or acknowledge future damages.
The man sought 150,000 euros for pain and suffering from the Mainz-based company. However, the 2nd Civil Chamber concluded that the requirements for granting a claim were not met.
This is not an isolated case in Germany. Previously, courts have made similar decisions regarding coronavirus vaccine-related claims. The plaintiff has one month to appeal the ruling.
