Fighting for Vaccine Injury Victims – Get the Compensation You Deserve
The pneumococcal vaccine protects against bacterial infections like pneumonia and meningitis, but in rare cases, it causes serious complications. People receiving the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine or pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines have reported lasting nerve pain, shoulder injury related to poor vaccine administration, and in some cases, severe allergic reactions. These aren’t just temporary side effects, they're real, lasting injuries that often require imaging, physical therapy, or even surgery. When that happens, you have the right to file a vaccine injury claim through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), a federal program that provides financial help to those harmed by covered vaccines.
At My Vaccine Lawyer, we help injured vaccine recipients file claims directly in vaccine court, also known as the United States Court of Federal Claims. This is not a typical personal injury lawsuit. You don’t have to prove negligence, you need to show that the vaccine caused the condition, and that the timeline and symptoms are supported by strong medical records. Our vaccine injury attorneys work with medical experts to build your case and fight for the financial compensation you deserve, including coverage for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If you were injured after a pneumonia shot, we’ll help you understand your legal options and make sure your claim is handled correctly.

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.

What It’s Like to Live with a Pneumococcal Vaccine Injury
Most people never expect a pneumonia shot to result in long-term disability, but for some, that’s exactly what happens. After a vaccine administration injury like SIRVA, people often face months of physical therapy, steroid injections, or nerve treatments. The cost of imaging alone, MRIs, EMGs, orthopedic consults, can reach thousands. Medical expenses pile up fast, especially for older adults managing other health conditions like lung disease. On top of treatment, you may need mobility support, help at home, or modifications just to carry out daily tasks. These are real injuries, not minor side effects.
The impact on work is equally serious. Many vaccine injury clients report missing weeks or months of employment, and some are forced into early retirement if full arm mobility doesn't return. Future lost wages become a concern quickly, especially for workers in healthcare, construction, or transportation who rely on strength and function. The VICP exists for this reason, because injury related to vaccines shouldn't leave you without support. Our firm helps calculate the full cost of your injury so you receive the compensation you deserve, not just a fraction of it.
The Hidden Challenges of Vaccine Administration SIRVA Claims
Not all shoulder injuries are treated the same in court. When SIRVA occurs after a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine or pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, your claim isn’t automatically presumed valid. Pneumonia vaccines are covered vaccines, but the burden of proof is still on you. That means you need to show the injury stemmed from incorrect vaccine administration, not from your job, aging, or a prior condition. Many claimants lose because their records don’t clearly document when the pain started or whether it was limited to the injection site. Those details are critical.
At My Vaccine Lawyer, we help clients build claims with support from medical experts, ensuring timelines, symptoms, and imaging match what the court expects to see. We work with a dedicated legal team who understands how to connect the facts, down to the smallest note in your provider’s file. This is not the kind of case you want to file alone, and it’s not something most general firms understand. We know what it takes to win pneumonia-related vaccine injury cases, and we know how to represent clients in the federal system where these claims are decided.
