Still Have Questions?

• How do I file a vaccine injury claim for a flu shot?

  If you've been injured by a flu shot, you don't file a traditional lawsuit. Instead, your attorney will file a petition for compensation through the VICP in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, also known as federal vaccine court. This is a unique area of vaccine injury law, and our law firm handles the entire process for you.

• What counts as a vaccine injury from the flu shot?

  Under the vaccine program, injuries like SIRVA, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, brachial neuritis, and severe allergic reactions are recognized conditions. These are among the most common vaccine injuries compensated in federal claims. Other vaccine reactions may qualify depending on timing, severity, and medical diagnosis. If you’ve experienced severe pain, loss of motion in your upper arm, or neurological complications after injection, you may be eligible.

• How much compensation can I receive for a vaccine injury?

  Payouts vary based on your injury, medical costs, and how it affects your life. Compensation can include:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Out-of-pocket treatment costs

  Settlements often reach six figures. The federal vaccine program has paid hundreds of millions to eligible vaccine injury clients, and federal claims pays attorney fees separately, so none of your compensation is reduced.

• What if my injury started weeks after the flu shot?

  The eligibility criteria depend on the type of injury and the timeframe in which symptoms began. For example, SIRVA typically starts within 48 hours of vaccine administration, while neurological conditions may take longer. Our experienced vaccine injury lawyers, supported by in-house medical experts will determine if your case meets the legal and medical standards required to file a vaccine injury claim.

• Do I need to sue my doctor or the vaccine manufacturer?

  No. You don’t sue your doctor, pharmacy, or vaccine maker. The VICP is a no-fault program that protects both patients and providers. The process is designed to secure justice for those injured by vaccines without the need for traditional litigation. Your legal representation files directly in vaccine court, and any filing fees or attorney fees are covered by the program itself.

• What if I had an unusual reaction not listed?

  Not every injury needs to appear on the official vaccine table. The court accepts vaccine cases for other vaccine reactions, as long as they can be supported by medical evidence and expert testimony. Our dedicated team works with medical experts to prove how your condition may be linked to your vaccination, even if it’s not a textbook case.

• How long do I have to file a flu shot injury claim?

  You typically have three years from the first appearance of symptoms to file a vaccine injury claim. In fatal cases, the deadline is two years from the date of death. Missing the deadline means your case may be dismissed automatically, so speaking with an experienced attorney early is critical.

• Will I work directly with a lawyer?

  Yes. Unlike other firms, we don’t pass clients off to assistants. Every client speaks directly with an experienced vaccine injury attorney from day one. You’ll never chase updates or feel in the dark. That’s part of what sets our law firm apart, we’re representing individuals, not processing case files.

• How much does it cost to start a claim?

  There is no cost to start. Your free consultation includes a full case review, and if your claim is accepted, attorney fees are paid separately by the federal government. There are no upfront costs, no filing fees, and no hourly rates, just honest legal help from a team with real experience in vaccine claims.

• Do all vaccine injuries qualify for compensation?

  Only injuries linked to vaccines covered by the program are eligible. That includes the flu vaccine, HPV vaccine, Tdap, MMR, and others. The injury must meet certain medical and legal standards, including lasting effects like chronic pain, surgery, or disability. If you're unsure, the best step is to request a free consultation and get clarity right away.
