Fighting for Vaccine Injury Victims – Get the Compensation You Deserve
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare but devastating neurological disorder that can be triggered by vaccines like the flu shot or COVID-19 vaccine. It causes the immune system to attack the nerves, leading to rapid-onset muscle weakness, numbness, paralysis, and in severe cases, the need for a ventilator or long-term care. Recovery can take months or even years — and some victims are left with permanent disabilities that impact every part of their life.
Because of how serious and life-altering GBS is, vaccine injury claims involving this condition often result in high payouts through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Victims may qualify for full compensation for medical bills, lost income, home modifications, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering. At My Vaccine Lawyer, our attorneys have deep experience handling GBS claims in vaccine court and are committed to securing the maximum possible compensation for every client.

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.

Which vaccines are linked to Guillain-Barre Syndrome?
Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a rare condition where the immune system attacks the nerves. While it is rare, understanding which vaccines are associated with GBS can help us protect ourselves and those around us. Vaccines thought to be associated with GBS include:
- Influenza (Flu Shot)
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
- Tetanus
- Diphtheria
- Polio
Additionally, for those already vaccinated, it is crucial to monitor closely for any signs of GBS developing. If it does, medical care should be sought immediately.
How does Guillain-Barre Syndrome occur?
Guillain-Barre Syndrome occurs when the body's immune system overreacts and attacks healthy nerve cells in the peripheral nervous system. This can cause muscle weakness, tingling, and pain that typically starts in the feet or hands and spreads upwards. In severe cases, it can lead to paralysis and even death.
Signs and Symptoms of Guillain-Barre Syndrome
Signs and symptoms include the following:
- weakness or tingling sensations in the legs (first sign)
- spread of weakness and odd sensations to the arms and upper body
- muscle weakness that rapidly progresses (over a few days or weeks)
- the loss of knee reflexes
The average person's muscles will weaken for 10 days to the point of being unable to walk. However, then the progression stops, and muscle function starts to come back. However, 25% of people who get GBS have permanent neurological disabilities afterward.
When it is severe, the person can become paralyzed and have issues with their breathing and heart function. If this occurs, they are placed on a ventilator to help them breathe. However, sometimes people do not survive even with this medical intervention. Please get in touch with our law firm if you or a loved one have become seriously ill with Guillain-Barre syndrome after getting vaccinated. We are here for you.
