Vaccine Injury Lawyers Serving Nationwide Clients
Have You or a Family Member Experienced Vaccine Injury?
Vaccines have played a crucial role in public health by preventing the spread of infectious diseases such as polio, measles, and influenza. Many once-deadly illnesses have been effectively controlled or eradicated thanks to widespread vaccination programs.
Vaccines are generally considered a safe and effective way to combat common, contagious diseases. Nevertheless, a small percentage of the population can develop serious adverse reactions to vaccinations. Side effects are rare but may include life‑threatening allergic reactions, neurological conditions, seizures, and even death. Some individuals suffer arm or shoulder injuries from vaccinations.

What Is a Vaccine Injury?
A vaccine injury refers to an adverse event that occurs after vaccination and is causally linked to the vaccine. These injuries can manifest in various forms, ranging from mild symptoms such as soreness at the injection site or fever to more severe reactions like anaphylaxis or neurological disorders. While vaccines are designed to provide immunity and protect against dangerous diseases, the body's immune response can occasionally lead to unexpected complications.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP)
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was established in 1988 by the United States government to provide financial compensation to individuals who experience vaccine-related injuries. The VICP recognizes that, in some cases, vaccine recipients may suffer from serious side effects. It offers an alternative to traditional litigation, where claimants can file for compensation without having to sue vaccine manufacturers or medical providers directly.
How Do I File a Vaccine Injury Claim or Lawsuit?
You have the legal right to file a lawsuit or claim if you or your loved one were injured by a vaccine in a medical facility. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was created in 1986 and is still used today to process and work through claims of defective and dangerous vaccines.
We understand that vaccine injuries can be severe. They are also time sensitive. It is recommended that you get started on your case right away. The best way to do this is to contact our office and schedule a free initial consultation. Our past clients have received money in over 90% of our cases.
We can help you recover damages for injuries from vaccination—and we can do it all without charging you anything out of pocket. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program provides the funds to pay the legal fees for families who have suffered a vaccine‑related injury.

Can Vaccines Cause Shoulder Injuries?
Shoulder injuries related to vaccines can occur during the administration of the vaccine itself. Such vaccination injuries often result from improper injection techniques, where the needle is inadvertently inserted too high or too deep into the shoulder muscle. This can lead to conditions such as Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA), where individuals experience pain, limited range of motion, or nerve damage. Recognizing the signs of these injuries is critical for affected individuals seeking compensation and support. Below is a list of common symptoms and conditions associated with vaccination shoulder injuries:
- Sharp shoulder pain
- Upper arm pain
- Permanent swelling and tenderness at the injection site
- Lumps
- Nodules
- Injuries to the nerves at the injection site
- Rotator cuff injury
- Frozen shoulder
- Brachial neuritis
If any of these complications from a vaccine administration occur and last more than six months after the vaccination or result in a surgical procedure, you may be entitled to monetary compensation.
