Transverse Myelitis (TM) Get Nationally Acclaimed Legal Representation

Nationwide Vaccine-Related Transverse Myelitis Lawyers

Serving Clients Nationwide in Vaccine Injury Claims & Lawsuits

Transverse myelitis is an inflammatory condition affecting both sides of the spinal cord area. This inflammation can damage or destroy the protective myelin sheaths covering nerve cell fibers, interrupting the messages spinal cord nerves send throughout the body.

Transverse myelitis can significantly impact one’s neurological well-being. It often results from autoimmune responses triggered by infections or, in some cases, vaccines. The source and types of vaccination are frequently disputed. However, transverse myelitis may be linked to a reaction to flu or hepatitis B vaccines, as well as other types of vaccinations.

At Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates, we are committed to protecting clients across the nation who have suffered injuries or developed medical conditions from vaccines. We have a nationwide vaccine practice representing individuals in the United States Court of Federal Claims. Our firm has a high success rate in securing compensation in this field, including representation for those who have developed transverse myelitis from vaccinations.

Are You Eligible to Take Legal Action after Suffering Transverse Myelitis?

Transverse myelitis can cause severe symptoms, such as lower back pain, sensory alterations below the level of spinal cord inflammation, loss of bowel control, paralysis, and physical dysfunction, such as problems with blood pressure, heart rate, and digestion.

When would you be able to take legal action after sustaining the medical problems associated with transverse myelitis?

If you believe your diagnosis of this condition was caused by negligence, medical malpractice, exposure to toxins, or any other actionable cause, you may be eligible to pursue legal action.

To determine eligibility, the following factors are typically considered:

Medical evidence: Gathering medical records, expert opinions, and diagnostic tests to establish a clear link between transverse myelitis and the alleged cause is essential in building a strong case.
Negligence or wrongdoing: If there is evidence of medical negligence, misdiagnosis, improper treatment, or exposure to harmful substances that led to the development of transverse myelitis, legal action may be warranted.
Statute of limitations: It is crucial to understand the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit related to transverse myelitis. This timeframe varies by jurisdiction but typically starts from the date of diagnosis or when the injury was discovered.
Financial impact: When evaluating the need for legal recourse, the financial impact of transverse myelitis, including medical expenses, lost wages, ongoing care needs, and emotional suffering, must be considered.
Legal counsel: Consulting with a qualified attorney specializing in medical malpractice or personal injury law can help assess the viability of a case and guide the individual through the legal process.

Individuals considering legal action due to transverse myelitis should seek personalized legal advice to thoroughly understand their circumstances and options. Legal action in such cases can help you pursue compensation for damages, hold responsible parties accountable, and potentially prevent similar incidents in the future.

Vaccine-Related Compensation

Patients may obtain recovery for transverse myelitis and other vaccine-related illnesses from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This government-run program provides individuals with financial compensation after being injured by certain vaccines.

Proving a vaccine caused an illness is complicated. That is why having a knowledgeable and trusted transverse myelitis lawyer on your side is essential.

Compensation Available Through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

The VICP was designed to ensure that those affected by vaccine-related injuries receive adequate support without engaging in lengthy and costly litigation.

Compensation can include:

Medical expenses: Reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary medical costs related to treating and managing the vaccine injury. This includes hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and ongoing care needs.
Lost wages: Compensation for any earnings lost due to time away from work. This support can be critical for individuals whose injuries significantly impact their ability to maintain employment.
Pain and suffering: Payments recognizing the physical and emotional distress caused by the vaccine injury. The program provides up to $250,000 for pain and suffering in recognized cases.
Death benefits: In the unfortunate event that a vaccine injury results in death, the VICP can compensate the family of the deceased. This can include up to $250,000 in death benefits and cover any medical and related expenses incurred before the death.
Legal fees: Legal costs associated with filing a claim through the VICP are typically covered, whether or not the claim results in compensation. This ensures that victims can seek justice and support without the financial burden of legal fees.

How Long Do You Have to File a Vaccine Injury Claim?

The statute of limitations requires that you file a claim with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims within three years from the onset of the first adverse symptoms post-vaccination. In the event of a vaccine-related death, a claim must be filed no later than two years from the date of death.

Common Answers To Your Questions

Can Meningococcal Vaccines Cause Allergic Reactions?

Pre-filled syringes may contain latex, so patients with sensitivity should discuss inoculation alternatives with their doctor. Anyone who has experienced an allergic reaction after a vaccine should speak to their doctor about safety concerns before they receive further shots.
Can Meningococcal Vaccines Cause Fever or Illness?
Yes, a small percentage of patients experience side effects including:
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Nausea
- Or diarrhea after a vaccine
The MenB vaccine is more likely to cause side effects than MenACWY, though either could generate a reaction. These symptoms normally disappear 3-5 days after the vaccine was administered. If symptoms persist outside of this timeframe, patients may need to seek follow-up care to test for more serious complications.
How Does the Vaccine Injury Compensation and Settlement Process Work?
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is mandated to compensate individuals who experience vaccine-related injuries. To initiate the process, you must file a claim within three years after the onset of symptoms attributed to the vaccine.
Eligibility typically requires symptoms lasting at least six months after vaccination or those that lead to hospitalization or surgery. Once a claim is filed, it undergoes evaluation. Your legal advocate will present your case and demonstrate the link between the vaccine and the reported injuries.
If the claim is successful, compensation is awarded to cover expenses such as:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death
Importantly, pursuing a claim through VICP involves no upfront costs for the claimant. The VICP covers legal fees and related expenses. This provides financial relief to those seeking compensation for vaccine-related injuries.

What is a Vaccine Injury Lawsuit?

A vaccine injury lawsuit is a legal claim filed by an individual who believes they have been injured by a vaccine. Vaccine injury victims have the right to seek compensation for their injuries through a lawsuit. These lawsuits are typically filed against the vaccine manufacturer and, in some cases, against other parties involved in the vaccine administration.
To file a vaccine injury claim, you should consult with a vaccine injury attorney to assess the claim and determine if there is sufficient evidence to support a lawsuit. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is a no-fault federal program that compensates individuals who have been injured due to vaccines.
Note that vaccine injury lawsuits can be challenging to prove. In a no-fault claim system, the legal standard for proving a vaccine injury is generally higher than in other personal injury cases. You must demonstrate that the vaccine caused an injury, and this often requires expert medical testimony. However, an attorney can guide you through the legal process.
Do I have a Case for Damages?

If you or a loved one experiences severe side effects after a meningococcal vaccine, it’s important to keep detailed records to be used as evidence down the line. Medical documents and bills should be copied or scanned so you have backups. Then, speak to a lawyer.
They can advise you on whether you have a claim and help you gather and organize the evidence and start the filing process. In a time that’s likely filled with stress, fear, and sadness, it’s important to have someone who knows the rules and procedures on your side.
What Can I Get From a Vaccine Claim?
Serious vaccine injury can result in disability or even wrongful death. This kind of tragedy can utterly devastate the family involved.
While nothing can make up for this kind of loss, filing for compensation either with the VICP or in court can help families recover:
- Medical costs covering complications
- Projected future medical costs
- Loss of consortium
- Legal fees
