Paul Brazil Wins Vaccine Injury Case

Paul Brazil achieved an important victory for a young woman who faced health challenges following her vaccination for influenza, hepatitis A, and HPV. After developing serious conditions including transverse myelitis and encephalomyelitis, which led to paralysis and ongoing health issues, she was represented by Brazil in a tough legal battle. His expert handling of the case in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program led to a $185,000 settlement covering her pain, suffering, and medical costs. If you or someone you know has experienced adverse effects from vaccines, contacting a dedicated vaccine injury lawyer like Paul Brazil could be a crucial step towards obtaining deserved compensation and support.

Her health continued to deteriorate further. She began to lose sensory response and demonstrated extreme weakness. Soon after, she was intubated and diagnosed with transverse myelitis and encephalomyelitis. For approximately one week she was in and out of consciousness, and developed paralysis of her lower body.

Over the following weeks, she slowly improved until her discharge on November 13, 2013. She continues to suffer from several conditions related to her vaccine injury, including a neurogenic bladder, requiring frequent catheterization, and depression.

Attorney Paul Brazil filed a petition in the Court of Federal Claims seeking compensation from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. After significant litigation, attorney Brazil was able to secure a compensation package including a $185,000 settlement for pain and suffering plus reimbursement of out of pocket medical expenses.
