Let Injured Americans Be Legally Empowered Act or the LIABLE Act
This bill prohibits COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers from being immune under federal law from lawsuits relating to their vaccines.
Specifically, the bill prohibits any federal law from providing immunity for COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers from civil suits or liability, or limiting liability, with respect to the administration or use of their vaccines. Additionally, individuals may not be precluded from bringing a civil suit against a COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer because the individual sought or received compensation through specified federal vaccine injury compensation programs, nor does the bill preclude individuals from seeking compensation through these programs.
The bill applies to vaccine administrations that occur before, on, or after the bill's date of enactment.
