Types of Vaccine Injury Cases We Handle

My Vaccine Lawyer represents individuals experiencing serious complications after hepatitis B vaccine administration — not soreness or fatigue, but persistent medical issues that required diagnosis, treatment, or intervention. Below are the most common vaccine injury cases we handle related to the b vaccine:

Shoulder Injuries from Improper Vaccine Placement

Improper injection causes damage to the structures in and around the shoulder joint. We frequently see Shoulder Injuries Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) that develop within days of the shot. These include ongoing shoulder pain, reduced mobility, inflammation, or weakness. Some clients are prescribed physical therapy, steroid injections, or surgery, and many are forced to take time off work due to discomfort or physical limitations — leading to real future lost wages. These injuries are well-documented in hepatitis B vaccine claims.

Nerve Damage, Tingling, or Arm Weakness

Localized nerve injuries are often overlooked until symptoms become disruptive. Clients describe sharp or burning pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm or shoulder that received the vaccine. These symptoms may be tied to conditions such as Brachial Neuritis or axillary nerve trauma, both of which result from poor technique during injection. Diagnostic imaging and medical records are key in linking these outcomes to vaccine administration, and we help assemble everything needed to support a claim.

Autoimmune Reactions or Neurological Symptoms

Some cases involve more complex immune responses that result in systemic illness or nervous system involvement. We handle claims involving Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), or prolonged severe illness after a hepatitis B dose. These complications often begin with fatigue or pain and escalate quickly, requiring hospitalization, specialist treatment, and long-term management. They are categorized as serious adverse reactions under the vaccine injury compensation program.

Serious Allergic Reactions or Anaphylaxis

A subset of individuals experience immediate hypersensitivity to the hepatitis B vaccine, including rash, hives, difficulty breathing, or a sudden drop in blood pressure. In these situations, emergency care is often required within hours of the shot. A medically documented allergic reaction is a qualifying condition under the VICP, and we assist clients in filing and supporting these claims with full medical history and vaccination timelines.

What It Takes to Build a Strong Hepatitis B Vaccine Injury Claim

Once symptoms are documented and linked to the hepatitis B vaccine, the next step is proving the injury under the VICP. That means showing clear, medically supported evidence — and we handle that entire process. We organize medical records, map the timeline between vaccine administration and symptom onset, and consult with treating providers. If imaging, diagnostics, or specialist reports support the claim, we include them. If outside opinion is needed, we bring in the right experts.

Everything gets filed through the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, known as vaccine court. These cases don’t rely on speculation — they rely on documented, verifiable harm. Our role is to present that evidence in a way that supports the compensation you’re owed.

Why Choose My Vaccine Lawyer?

We’ve represented thousands of clients through the vaccine injury claim process, and hepatitis B cases are no exception. These aren’t general injury lawsuits. They’re federal claims, handled under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, and success depends on knowing the system — not just filing the paperwork. Some hepatitis B injuries are listed on the Vaccine Injury Table, but most are not. That’s where legal experience makes the difference. Our attorneys know how to present evidence that meets the court’s standard, whether your injury is table-listed or not. Every detail matters — from how the symptoms are described to how the timeline is documented.

As an experienced vaccine injury lawyer, the goal is always the same: a complete, accurate claim that puts you in the strongest position for financial compensation. We handle the filing, the records, and the legal argument — you focus on recovery.
