Do you have a vaccine related injury?
Serious side effects following vaccination are very rare, but they do occur. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is designed and funded to compensate victims who can demonstrate that they have had an adverse reaction to a vaccine.
If you suffered an illness or injury after a vaccine, contact our office for a free consultation with one of the most experienced vaccine lawyers in the United States. You may be eligible for compensation from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. If you do have a claim you will never pay one dollar in attorneys’ fees or costs.
We have been fighting on behalf of vaccine injury clients for thirty years.
We recognize that your concerns may not have been accepted by your doctors or others. We will listen; we understand that a vaccine may have in fact caused your injury.
You will never pay a fee for our services.
If you have a vaccine injury, you can benefit from representation by one of the most skilled attorneys in the country and his team with no cost to you. Our consultation is free, and if you win an award, our fees do not come out of your settlement. Any attorney’s fees are paid separately by the Vaccine Fund.
