Fighting for Vaccine Injury Victims – Get the Compensation You Deserve
Vision loss, paralysis, and intense neurological symptoms after vaccination may point to a serious autoimmune attack—and a compensable vaccine injury. Neuromyelitis optica is a rare but severe autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the optic nerves and spinal cord. Also known as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), it is not the same as multiple sclerosis, although early symptoms may appear similar. The damage is more aggressive and often permanent. Patients may lose vision in one or both eyes, develop limb weakness or paralysis, or lose bowel and bladder control. These effects come from the immune system attacking myelin cells in the central nervous system, triggering sudden acute attacks that require hospitalization. Early diagnosis is critical—typically involving magnetic resonance imaging, antibody tests, and full review of clinical history.
While NMO can happen spontaneously or after viral infections, it has also been linked to certain vaccines, especially COVID-19 vaccination, HPV vaccine, and the flu vaccine. In those cases, the immune response triggered by the vaccine may mistakenly attack the body’s own cells, leading to inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. These are rare but serious vaccine injuries, and they may qualify for compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). My Vaccine Lawyer helps individuals who developed NMO or tested positive for NMOSD after vaccination gather the records and medical evidence needed to file a claim through the federal program.

While I am very pleased with this firm's attorneys for the final settlement I received, their marvelous staff held my hand and helped me navigate through my over three-year process. The staff continuously answered all my questions and helped keep me on track. That you everyone!

This law firm gave me a voice when I was voiceless. It has been a long battle but they came through for me. Believe the reviews. They are all positive for a reason. Do not hesitate to reach out if you or a loved one was injured by a vaccine. SIRVA is very real and much more common than you would think. My Vaccine Lawyer was there with me every step of the way. They helped me navigate a confusing and tedious process that they had the expertise to guide me through. They communicated very well. The office was always updating me on my case, They fought hard for me as a person to get what I rightfully deserved. I highly recommend this wonderful firm. And can't commend all their wonderful employees anymore than I already do. Do the right thing for you, and do not hesitate to call.

Awesome to work with.
I had been working with Mueller Attorneys for close to two years, which was the beginning of my injury. They got me started on a quickly from that point and were with me every step until today, when finally my injury story has ended. I received my compensation and was very happy with the amount that Max and his team got for me. They put in a lot of time making sure I was aware of everything going on and I was the one at the end that got to make all the final decisions. They gave the best advice, they were all so professional, kind, and understanding! I am glad this part of my life is over but I will 100% miss speaking and connecting with the entire team at Mueller!! Thank you to you all 🩷

Muller & Brazil was amazing from start to finish. During a tough time where I didn’t know what to do and needed guidance, the team at Muller Brazil answered all of my questions and guided me every step of the way. Communication in this type of situation is so very important and they never fell short. Every member of the team and I had some sort of communication at some point in the duration of my case. They were all great. If you need legal services, I give my full recommendation to this firm. If they said they were going to do something, they did it. In the end we came out with a win! I appreciate you more than you know. Great job! Thanks again. Justin H.

Max and his team provided me with help settling my SIRVA case. They are encouraging, realistic and empathetic. This is a slow and bureaucratic process. Each person at the firm helped me navigate the process and come to a place where I put the trauma of the injury in the rearview, even if the pain will remain to some extent. It gets better. Money doesn’t make it go away but it does bring closure and Muller Brazile helped.

I received a flu vaccine which resulted in SIRVA and consequently surgery. This was in 2019, pre-COVID, and hardly anyone had a clue what SIRVA was. While a few legal firms were handling SIRVA cases, when I reached out to MyVaccineLawyer I felt a connection with my first call. Bridget McCullough handled my case and never failed to keep me updated. It was a pleasure to work with her as I never felt ignored even though my case took 4 years to settle. I knew it was the court and not the firm causing the delay. I would recommend this company for what is now an injury far more recognized and prevalent.

Max and his wonderful staff took care of my case and I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am. I live in Hawaii, and their office is in Pennsylvania, so I was a little skeptical at first. It doesn’t matter what state you live in, this law firm will take care of you from start to finish and I am beyond happy with the outcome. They always answered all my questions and kept me posted on the progress of my case. Everyone was very nice, and very professional. I highly recommend this law firm. Max is very good at what he does. This law firm is the best.

Treatment for NMO Is Intensive, Ongoing, and Expensive
The first priority is controlling inflammation during acute attacks. This often starts with IV corticosteroid drugs like methylprednisolone, followed by plasma exchange if symptoms do not improve. Some patients are hospitalized for days. As recovery begins, long-term treatment shifts to immunosuppressant drugs or monoclonal antibodies to prevent relapse.
These therapies are costly. A single infusion of eculizumab or satralizumab (monoclonal antibodies) often exceeds $7,000 to $10,000 per dose, not including administration or specialist fees. Long-term care may include monthly infusions, repeated imaging, and outpatient rehab. For most, total medical expenses reach tens of thousands in the first year alone—especially when treatment starts after late symptom onset or misdiagnosis. Your compensation claim must reflect the full scope of the condition’s clinical characteristics and cost.
Compensation Reflects the Full Medical and Financial Burden of NMO
Claims for neuromyelitis optica vaccine injury are judged on clear criteria: how soon symptom onset followed the vaccine, whether the condition fits the expected clinical presentation, and if other causes were ruled out. A diagnosis backed by brain MRI, antibody results, and specialist evaluation gives your case weight. Compensation is based on what the disease actually costs you—starting with hospital bills, outpatient care, and medications, and extending to mobility aids, lost income, and future treatment. Since NMO relapses are common, strong claims document the condition’s natural history, showing how it progresses, stabilizes, or returns over time.
If you were initially diagnosed with NMO after a vaccine, My Vaccine Lawyer will help you build a claim based on expert records and real-world medical costs.
