Transverse Myelitis & Vaccine Injuries

Fighting for Vaccine Injury Victims – Get the Compensation You Deserve

You’re already dealing with enough—doctor visits, tests, symptoms you didn’t see coming. The last thing you need is a legal headache. If you were diagnosed with transverse myelitis after a vaccine like the flu shot or MMR, you may be eligible for federal compensation through the national vaccine injury compensation program (VICP) that covers your medical bills, lost wages, and more. No lawsuit. No upfront costs. And no risk to you.

At My Vaccine Lawyer, this is all we do. We take on the paperwork, the court filings, the medical expert reviews—everything—so you don’t have to. It’s one less thing to worry about, and it could mean real financial help while you recover.

Hear Cheryl's Vaccine Injury Story

Cheryl, a former client of My Vaccine Lawyer, shares her experience with Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) following a flu shot. She describes the sudden onset of pain, limited shoulder mobility, and a long recovery process that led her to seek legal help from attorney Max Muller.

With his support, Cheryl filed a successful claim through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and received a settlement covering her medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. SIRVA symptoms typically include sudden pain within 48 hours of vaccination, restricted range of motion, and discomfort that can last for weeks or months.

Transverse Myelitis and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

Being diagnosed with transverse myelitis (TM) is life-altering—and if it came shortly after a vaccine, that timeline matters more than you might think. Certain vaccines are known to trigger rare autoimmune or inflammatory responses like TM. And while transverse myelitis itself isn’t currently listed on the official Vaccine Injury Table, that doesn’t mean you don’t have a case. Many TM claims have still been successfully compensated through the VICP—you just need medical documentation and an experienced legal team who understands how to prove it.

We’ll work with medical experts, life care planners, and financial professionals to build a full picture of what you’ve been through—and what your future might look like.

Types of Vaccine Injury Claims We Handle for TM

If you developed transverse myelitis after one of the following, we will pursue a compensation claim on your behalf:

Flu Shot (Influenza Vaccine)

The most commonly filed claims involve the seasonal flu shot. TM symptoms that begin within a few weeks of vaccination may qualify, especially if diagnostic tests and medical records support the timeline.

MMR Vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)

The MMR vaccine is given in childhood, but also as a booster for adults in healthcare or travel settings. TM has been reported in rare cases following this vaccine.

Other Vaccines Associated with Neurological Reactions

Though less common, vaccines such as hepatitis B, COVID-19, or meningococcal have been linked to neurological inflammation in isolated reports. We’ll review your specific timeline, records, and symptoms to determine if a valid claim can be made.

How Vaccine Injury Claims Work

Don’t Wait – Get Help For Your Injury Today

If you were diagnosed with transverse myelitis after receiving a vaccine, you may be eligible for financial compensation through the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This system allows individuals to file a federal claim without suing a doctor or vaccine manufacturer—and with no legal fees out of pocket.

Transverse myelitis can upend every part of your life—mobility, independence, work, and long-term health. You may be facing physical therapy, neurological care, lost income, or even the possibility of future complications like multiple sclerosis. Our legal team manages the entire vaccine injury claim process, from gathering records and medical evidence to representing you in vaccine court.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

A TM diagnosis can result in lasting physical, emotional, and financial hardship. Through the VICP, you may be able to recover compensation for:

Medical expenses, including diagnostic tests, hospital stays, and rehab
Lost wages or future lost income due to long-term disability
Pain and suffering related to chronic symptoms
Ongoing care or mobility support
Legal costs and attorney fees (paid by the program, not by you)

We work to build a case that reflects the real-life impact of transverse myelitis—and pursue every dollar you’re entitled to under the law.

The Legal Process for Vaccine Injury Cases

Vaccine injury cases follow a unique legal process. Since these claims are handled under the VICP, they require an attorney with experience in federal vaccine litigation. At My Vaccine Lawyer, we start with a free consultation to assess your claim. We then gather medical records, expert testimony, and supporting evidence to build a strong case. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we are prepared to take your case to trial.

What Happens If Transverse Myelitis Isn’t on the Vaccine Injury Table?

Transverse myelitis isn’t currently listed on the official Vaccine Injury Table, which means your claim won’t be automatically presumed valid. But that doesn’t disqualify you—it just means your case is considered an “off-table” injury, and it needs to be built with strong medical evidence and expert support. This is something we handle regularly. We know what the Court of Federal Claims expects, and we know how to present TM-related vaccine injury cases in a way that gets results.

What an Off-Table Injury Means Legally

Some vaccine-related injuries—like anaphylaxis or SIRVA—are listed on the table and automatically presumed to be caused by the vaccine if they occur within a set timeframe. Transverse myelitis doesn’t have that presumption, so the burden is on us to prove that the vaccine more likely than not triggered the inflammation in your spinal cord that led to your diagnosis. It’s more complex, but absolutely possible. We’ve helped clients win off-table claims before—and we know how to make a medically sound case.

How We Prove Transverse Myelitis Claims

Every successful TM claim starts with a tight, evidence-driven legal strategy. That includes:

A clear timeline showing when symptoms appeared in relation to your vaccination
Full medical records, before and after the shot
Diagnostic imaging and reports confirming inflammation or spinal cord lesions
Written reports or expert opinions from neurologists
A medical theory (grounded in science) connecting the vaccine to your injury

You won’t have to track any of this down on your own. We handle every part of the process—record collection, medical review, expert coordination, and court filing. Transverse myelitis claims may require more effort than listed injuries, but they’ve been successfully compensated many times and for big sums. The key is a law firm that understands both the legal and medical side of this very specific condition.

If you were diagnosed with transverse myelitis after a vaccination, we’re ready to help. No guesswork, no out-of-pocket legal fees—just experienced attorneys fighting for the financial relief you deserve.
