Vaccine Injury Attorneys

Vaccines save millions of lives every year, preventing deaths from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza, and measles. Some deadly diseases have been eliminated completely and others are close to extinction– primarily due to safe and effective vaccines.

Back to All Practice Areas

Vaccines protect the health of the individual receiving the immunization, as well as those in the community who are either too young or unable to receive certain vaccinations due to severe allergies or weakened immune systems.

The benefits of vaccination greatly outweigh the slight risk, and many more injuries and deaths would occur without vaccinations.

Although serious side effects following vaccination are very rare, they do occur. These injuries can range from swelling at the injection site to serious conditions such as central nervous system disorders, Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), and dozens of other conditions.

The U.S. government created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to reimburse people who suffer a serious injury as the result of a vaccine.

We are not accepting COVID-19 vaccine injury cases at this time as the COVID-19 vaccine is not currently included in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
