Hepatitis B Get Nationally Acclaimed Legal Representation

Nationwide Hepatitis B Vaccine Injuries Attorney

Focused Vaccine Injury Representation for Hepatitis B Claims Nationwide

Like hepatitis A, hepatitis B is an infectious viral disease of the liver. It spreads through infected blood and other bodily fluids and can pass from mother to child during birth.

Hepatitis B vaccination is intended to prevent infection with the hepatitis B virus. It may be administered as part of an infant, adolescent, adult, occupational, or other recommended vaccination schedule.

A Hepatitis B vaccine may be given by itself or with other vaccines. The fact that symptoms appear after vaccination doesn’t, by itself, establish that the vaccine caused an injury or that compensation is available. A potential Hepatitis B vaccine injury claim generally proceeds through the federal National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program rather than through an ordinary California personal injury lawsuit.

Serious symptoms after a Hepatitis B vaccination may warrant legal review. Contact us online or call (888) 891-2816 today to discuss a potential claim.

Hepatitis B Vaccination Reactions

Mild Hep B vaccine side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site, fever, and mild rash. Many people who receive the hepatitis B vaccine experience no problems. Symptoms that require emergency care, hospitalization, or prolonged treatment, or that result in lasting impairment, warrant prompt medical attention and may merit a legal review.

The Vaccine Injury Table is the federal list of injuries and timing requirements used in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. For Hepatitis B vaccines, it lists anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, when the first symptom occurs within four hours; shoulder injury related to vaccine administration when the first symptom occurs within 48 hours; and vasovagal syncope, or fainting caused by a transient decrease in blood flow to the brain, when the first symptom occurs within one hour.

Complications or lasting effects of a listed condition may also qualify when the Table’s regulatory requirements are met, based on the full medical record.

Conditions and injuries that may require claim review include:

Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration may receive a Table presumption when its definition and 48-hour timing requirement are satisfied. The other listed conditions aren’t Hepatitis B Vaccine Injury Table injuries. For those off-Table claims, a petitioner generally must establish through medical and legal evidence that the vaccine caused the injury. Medical records should connect the vaccination date, first symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and effects on work or daily function.

Shoulder Pain After a Hepatitis B Vaccine

Many vaccines can cause swelling or tenderness in the upper arm or shoulder at the site of the injection. Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table for Hepatitis B vaccines when the first symptom or manifestation occurs within 48 hours. If shoulder pain is severe, persistent, or limits movement after a Hepatitis B vaccine, contact our firm for a legal review.

Possible clinical diagnoses that require medical documentation include:

Records of pain, limited range of motion, weakness, imaging, injections, physical therapy, orthopedic treatment, and effects on work or daily life can help evaluate a potential claim.

Hepatitis B Vaccine Injury Claims Through the VICP

At Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates, we focus on vaccine injury claims and guide California residents and clients nationwide through the federal process.

Our attorneys are licensed to practice in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, where a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is filed. HRSA medical staff reviews the petition, the Department of Justice submits the government’s report, and a court-appointed special master in the Office of Special Masters decides whether compensation should be awarded.

Important parts of a potential claim include:

  • Documentation: Keep detailed records of the vaccination, medical treatments, symptoms, diagnosis, and communications regarding the injury.
  • Claim Filing Deadline: A claim generally must be filed within three years after the first symptom or manifestation of onset or significant aggravation. Death claims have separate timing requirements.
  • Supporting Evidence: We can review eligibility, gather and organize medical records, prepare the petition, and present supporting evidence.
  • Potential Compensation: Depending on the claim and supporting proof, compensation may address medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other legally recognized losses.

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is a no-fault alternative to traditional litigation, but compensation isn’t automatic because an injury followed vaccination. The vaccine, injury, symptom timing, medical evidence, and applicable program requirements all matter.

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 888-891-2816 today!

  • Do I have a Case for Damages?

    Our law firm will advise you whether you have a case. It depends upon the type of vaccination you received, the timing of the adverse reaction, your current diagnosis, and whether you have achieved recovery. In complicated cases, an expert medical opinion will be necessary to determine the viability of a case.

  • What is a Vaccine Injury?

    Vaccine injuries refer to any adverse events that are caused by avaccination. For instance, a vaccine injury can be caused by the wrongful administration of a vaccine. Alternatively, an autoimmune response to the ingredients of the vaccine may cause an adverse event. These types of adverse reactions are rare, but at times painful or quite serious and potentially even catastrophic.

  • How Can I Get Help After a Vaccine Injury?

    The Vaccine Injury Compensation Act established the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This Act covers cases involving 17 different vaccines as indicated on the “Types of Vaccines” tab of our website.  

    Assuming that the vaccine that caused your injury or illness is covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act, you have come to the right place. 

    Experienced vaccine attorneys, such as those in our law firm, will gather the medical documentation and vaccine administration record necessary to complete a Petition for filing in the United States Court of Federal Claims (USCFC). Additionally, we will attempt to answer all of your questions during this process.

  • What Vaccines Are Covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program?

    Diphtheria, Tetanus, Flu (Influenza), Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Meningococcal, Pneumococcal, Polio, Rotavirus, and Varicella (Chickenpox).

    For more information on vaccines included under the VICP, visit our page on Vaccines covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).

  • How Common Are Vaccine Injuries?

    Vaccine injuries are rare when considering the number of vaccinations given nationwide. According to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (“VICP”) statistics, less than 1% of vaccine doses result in adverse reactions. Many of these are not compensated since the adverse reaction lasts less than six months. Notwithstanding, many vaccine injuries are legitimate and must be fairly compensated.

  • How Does the Vaccine Injury Compensation and Settlement Process Work?

    The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is designed to compensate individuals who experience a vaccine caused injury or illness. 

    A Petition must be filed within three years after the onset of the symptoms attributed to the vaccination or two years within a death caused by a vaccination. 

    Once a Petition (claim) is filed, it undergoes evaluation by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Respondent) and their attorneys from the Vaccine Division. The Court may require expert reports after which the case may be set for trial or settled.

    If this case is won or settled, then an injured Petitioner may be entitled to pain and suffering, reimbursement of medical expenses, past and future lost wages, a life care plan funded annuity to cover future medical expenses such as attendant care and home modifications, and in rare cases a wrongful death benefit.
