Expert Vaccine Injury Lawyers in Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, and Across Arizona
Serious shoulder pain after a flu shot signals a potential shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Our Arizona vaccine lawyer looks at your medical records, first symptom dates and diagnosis for flu shot injuries, Tdap vaccine reactions, hepatitis shots, HPV vaccine problems and other vaccine related injuries, then decides whether your situation fits a vaccine injury claim that belongs in the United States Court of Federal Claims under federal law.
This is vaccine injury law that runs through vaccine court instead of Arizona civil court. From your first free consultation, our vaccine injury lawyers, attorneys and team focus on common vaccine injuries such as shoulder injury, adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder and other SIRVA case patterns, build vaccine injury cases and vaccine claims inside the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and track strict filing deadlines while the law firm manages the process for you.
Check Your Vaccine Injury Claim
This quick fit check shows the patterns our Arizona vaccine injury lawyer team sees most often in vaccine injury claims.
1. Shoulder problems after vaccination
These patterns matter because they point to shoulder injury related to vaccine administration.
- Sharp shoulder pain after a flu shot or other vaccine.
- Limited range of motion that matches frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis.
- A diagnosis in your medical records that links your first symptom to the vaccination.
2. Neurologic reactions after common vaccines
These reactions often indicate vaccine injuries that belong in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
- Weakness, numbness or sensory loss after a Tdap vaccine, HPV vaccine or hepatitis shot.
- A doctor discussing transverse myelitis or another adverse reaction as vaccine caused.
- Imaging or testing that confirms injuries within a clear timeline.
3. Evidence that supports a federal claim
Vaccine injury claims need more than symptoms. They need structure.
- Medical records that document your diagnosis, first symptom and progression.
- A clear link between the vaccination and the injuries you want to claim.
- A timeline our injury lawyers can prepare for filing inside this program.
If these points match your health history, our team will review your claim.

How a Vaccine Court Claim Works
These steps show how vaccine injury cases move through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and the United States Court of Federal Claims.
Step 1
Your attorney reviews your medical records and diagnosis.
Your attorney studies every detail, matches your first symptom to the vaccination and confirms whether the program covers your injuries.
Step 2
Your team prepares the filing for vaccine court.
This preparation builds the foundation for a vaccine injury claim through federal claims rather than Arizona civil court.
Step 3
Your claim enters the United States Court of Federal Claims.
A special master reviews vaccine claims, evaluates evidence and guides the process under federal law.
Step 4
Your injury lawyers gather expert support.
They link your vaccination to the injuries you reported, including shoulder injury, transverse myelitis and other common vaccine injuries when supported by the medical evidence.
Step 5
Your lawyer seeks compensation through the program.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering when the evidence meets the program requirements.
Arizona Vaccine Injury Settlements
Flu Shot - SIRVA - $125,000
In November 2016, Christine M. received an influenza vaccine in her left shoulder and soon developed severe pain. Despite medication, physical therapy, and two surgeries, her shoulder pain persists, limiting her range of motion and affecting her daily life. Before the injury, Christine was an active parent and worked overtime, but the pain forced her to leave her job and rely on her mother for help with her child. The injury has impacted her ability to engage in family activities, a significant part of her life. The $125,000 settlement compensated Christine for lost wages, medical bills, and ongoing pain and suffering.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long does a vaccine injury claim usually take in vaccine court?
Some claims resolve within several months when the evidence is clear. More complex vaccine cases may take longer because the United States Court of Federal Claims reviews each filing with a detailed medical and legal standard.
-
Do I need to testify in court to receive compensation?
Most clients never testify. The special master often decides compensation based on medical records, expert reports and written submissions prepared by our team.
-
Can I file a claim if my symptoms are still developing?
Yes, ongoing symptoms do not prevent a filing. The program lets your attorney update the evidence as your diagnosis, treatment and medical expenses evolve.
-
What if I recovered but the injury caused significant treatment and costs?
You may still qualify for compensation. The program considers documented medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering even when the injured person has returned to normal function.
-
Do I need my doctor to agree that the vaccination caused my injury?
No, a claim does not depend on your doctor giving a direct causation statement. Vaccine court evaluates the pattern of symptoms, the timing and the medical records under its own federal law standards.
-
Can I file a vaccine injury claim if the vaccination happened in another state?
Yes, location does not limit access to the program. All vaccine claims enter the same federal court and follow the same process whether the vaccination happened in Arizona, another state or during travel.
-
Does a past health condition affect eligibility for compensation?
A preexisting condition does not automatically reduce a claim. The court looks at how the vaccination changed your health, your function and your documented losses.
-
What happens if the vaccine administrator made a mistake during vaccination?
Technique errors may strengthen the evidence. Our team reviews imaging, symptoms and injection placement to show how the vaccine administration produced shoulder injury or other injuries consistent with vaccine caused harm.
