If you’ve been injured due to a vaccination, an attorney can help you get restitution under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). These claims can be complicated and require the guidance of an experienced legal team. A number of adverse conditions can result from vaccine administration. Most common of these are allergic reactions. Additionally, other medical problems like Guillain Barre Syndrome, SIRVA, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, transverse myelitis, and brachial neuritis can all result from improper vaccination. If you have any of these conditions, it’s important that you seek medical attention to establish the validity of your vaccine claim.
