Hepatitis A Vaccine Injuries

Fighting for Vaccine Injury Victims – Get the Compensation You Deserve

Your arm shouldn’t still hurt from a routine shot, if the Hepatitis A vaccine left you with lasting pain, our legal team is here to make it right. The Hepatitis A vaccine protects against serious liver disease, but for a small number of people, it causes lasting injuries, often involving nerve damage or shoulder injury related to improper vaccine administration. These are not mild symptoms or temporary side effects. We're talking about vaccine related injuries like brachial neuritis, SIRVA, and even Guillain-Barré Syndrome, which may require long-term medical treatment and create significant financial strain.

At My Vaccine Lawyer, our entire team focuses solely on vaccine injury cases under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). If you've suffered injuries following a covered vaccine, including the Hepatitis A vaccine or flu shot, we help you pursue legal action in the United States Court of Federal Claims. You may be entitled to financial compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and future medical care. Our vaccine injury attorneys have handled complex federal claims across the country.

Hear Cheryl's Vaccine Injury Story

Cheryl, a former client of My Vaccine Lawyer, shares her experience with Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) following a flu shot. She describes the sudden onset of pain, limited shoulder mobility, and a long recovery process that led her to seek legal help from attorney Max Muller.

With his support, Cheryl filed a successful claim through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and received a settlement covering her medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. SIRVA symptoms typically include sudden pain within 48 hours of vaccination, restricted range of motion, and discomfort that can last for weeks or months.

Why Hepatitis A Vaccine Injuries Lead to Legal Action

When a vaccine designed to prevent illness results in serious injury, the legal system recognizes that compensation may be warranted, even when no one is directly at fault. The Hepatitis A vaccine has been linked to adverse reactions such as brachial neuritis, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration, and Guillain-Barré Syndrome. While these cases are rare, they can lead to lasting medical complications, lost wages, and long-term treatment. Under the VICP, individuals who suffer these types of injuries have the legal right to pursue a claim in the United States Court of Federal Claims. Successfully doing so requires proof, expert support, and a law firm that understands the complexities of vaccine injury law.

How the Hepatitis A Vaccine Causes Injury

Injuries from the Hepatitis A vaccine often stem from two sources: an immune-mediated reaction or improper vaccine administration into the shoulder. In both cases, the result is severe pain, nerve damage, or limited arm function. Conditions such as SIRVA or brachial neuritis may develop within hours or days of receiving the vaccine, causing long-term disruption that meets the legal definition of a vaccine related injury.

Off-Table Injuries Under the Injury Compensation Program (VICP)

Unlike some injuries caused by the flu vaccine or other covered vaccines, those linked to the Hepatitis A vaccine are considered off-table. This means the injury is not presumed to be caused by the vaccine under the VICP. To succeed, the claim must include clear medical evidence and expert opinion showing that the vaccine likely caused the adverse effects.

What the Legal Process Requires from You

To bring a vaccine claim for a Hepatitis A injury, you must provide medical records, proof of vaccine administration, and evidence that the symptoms began within a medically appropriate time frame. Because the vaccine is not on the injury table, the legal process is more complex and requires the support of an experienced vaccine injury attorney to present a compelling case before the court.

Dealing with the Legal Process for Compensation

Proving a vaccine injury without a table presumption involves building a detailed case supported by expert testimony and documentation. Most individuals and even some general attorneys are not equipped to handle this process. A dedicated vaccine law firm with experience in federal claims is essential to securing fair compensation for serious injuries caused by the Hepatitis A vaccine.

What It’s Like to Live with a Vaccine Injury

Injury cases involving the Hepatitis A vaccine often begin with reduced range of motion, severe pain near the injection site, or nerve-related weakness that worsens over time. What begins as soreness can become permanent restriction of shoulder function, affecting daily needs such as getting dressed, preparing meals, or holding a child. For people in physical jobs like healthcare, warehouse work, or construction, the consequences include being placed on medical leave or losing employment entirely. Sleep becomes fragmented due to sharp, burning pain, which leads to chronic fatigue, mental strain, and increased risk of injury during the day.

The financial impact is immediate. A single MRI scan can cost $600 to $1,200, and EMG testing ranges from $300 to $800. Physical therapy sessions average $150 each, and many patients attend 2–3 times per week for several months. Pain management, such as steroid injections or nerve medications, adds another $200 to $400 monthly. Medical expenses related to vaccine injuries regularly reach $15,000 or more. Lost wages from missed work increase that burden, often totaling $10,000 to $50,000, depending on occupation and how long the condition lasts. For vaccine injury victims, future medical expenses are also common, especially when surgery or long-term care is needed.

What You Need to Prove a Successful Claim

A successful claim under the national Vaccine Injury Compensation Program requires thorough, consistent documentation. You must show that you received a covered vaccine, such as the Hepatitis A vaccine, and that your symptoms began within a medically accepted time frame. This includes providing vaccine records with the lot number, administration site, and provider information. Medical records must clearly reflect the onset of symptoms, diagnostic impressions, and treatment timelines. Gaps in care or unclear symptoms make it more difficult to secure compensation in vaccine injury cases.

For hepatitis A claims, expert medical reports are often required to explain causation. Unlike vaccine injury claims involving the flu shot, these cases do not benefit from presumptions under the VICP. Your legal team must present medical evidence that links the vaccine to the adverse effects suffered. This includes EMG or MRI results, physician letters, and expert testimony. Without this foundation, the claim will not succeed. The legal process is handled through the United States Court of Federal Claims, and the standard for proof is higher than in typical injury lawsuits. Our firm manages the entire claim process to meet those strict requirements.

Still Have Questions?

Does the vaccine injury program cover medical expenses and lost income?

Yes. If your claim is approved, the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program can cover medical expenses related to your condition, including diagnostics, rehabilitation, surgery, and future care. The program also compensates for lost wages and pain caused by the injury. These are calculated based on your documented losses and the severity of your condition. Our firm provides a free consultation to help you understand which damages you may be eligible to recover, and how to document them properly.
What qualifies as an adverse reaction under the VICP?

Severe vaccine reactions include long-term nerve damage, severe allergic reactions, brachial neuritis, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and shoulder injuries that impair daily function. These go beyond common adverse reactions like swelling or soreness. If your condition has lasted more than six months, required surgery, or significantly disrupted your ability to work or care for yourself, it may qualify. The program reviews both physical symptoms and long-term consequences in deciding eligibility.
If vaccines protect against dangerous diseases, why are injury claims allowed?

Vaccines do protect against dangerous diseases like hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and the flu. But no medical product is completely risk-free. A very small percentage of people experience adverse events after vaccination, and Congress created the vaccine program to ensure they are fairly compensated without placing blame on doctors or nurses. Filing a claim is not a criticism of vaccines, it is a legal remedy for people who suffer unexpected harm from a public health measure.
Is a vaccine injury the same as medical malpractice?

No. Vaccine injury claims are not lawsuits against doctors, clinics, or vaccine manufacturers. They are filed in a separate legal system, the United States Court of Federal Claims, and follow a no-fault structure. Medical malpractice claims require proving negligence. Vaccine claims do not. Even if your injury happened at a pharmacy or public clinic, you can still be compensated through the VICP without proving that anyone made a mistake.
What if my injury isn’t listed on the vaccine injury table?

You can still file a claim. Many valid injuries are considered “off-table,” which means they are not automatically presumed to be caused by the vaccine. In these cases, legal representation becomes especially important. Your attorney will need to gather medical records, expert reports, and scientific evidence showing that your condition was likely caused by the vaccine. If the evidence is strong, the claim can still succeed even if your reaction was rare or not listed.
