My Vaccine Lawyer evaluates serious injuries following vaccines covered by the VICP. Whether a condition qualifies depends on the vaccine, medical findings, symptom timing, prior history, and the applicable federal requirements.
Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) can involve persistent shoulder pain and reduced range of motion after an injection in the upper arm. In plain language, SIRVA is a shoulder injury associated with how or where a vaccine was given. For a Table SIRVA claim, symptoms must begin within 48 hours and meet the federal definition, including requirements concerning prior shoulder history and other possible causes.
Our attorneys review vaccination records, early treatment notes, imaging, therapy, injections, and surgical records when evaluating SIRVA vaccine injury claims.
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a serious neurological condition that may cause weakness, tingling, numbness, and difficulty walking. In plain language, it affects the nerves and can interfere with movement and sensation. Certain GBS claims following seasonal influenza vaccination may qualify under the Vaccine Injury Table when all federal requirements are met. Other claims require medical evidence supporting causation.
We evaluate medical history, neurological findings, hospital records, treatment, rehabilitation, and symptom timing for potential Guillain-Barré syndrome vaccine injury claims.
The VICP may also address qualifying conditions such as brachial neuritis, anaphylaxis, transverse myelitis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and other medically supported injuries involving covered vaccines.
An injury does not always have to appear on the Vaccine Injury Table to support a claim. Off-Table petitions require evidence supporting causation or significant aggravation, along with the other eligibility requirements.
Medical records are central to a federal vaccine injury claim. If you received a covered vaccine in California and later developed persistent symptoms, preserving documentation can help show when the condition began, how it progressed, and what treatment you received.
Records worth keeping include:
Whether you received vaccination or treatment in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento, or another California community, our team can help identify records relevant to the federal claim review.
Do not wait until every record has been collected before requesting an evaluation. The filing period may depend on the earliest symptoms rather than the date of diagnosis. Our vaccine injury evidence guide explains how documentation can support a claim.
