Did You get Guillain-Barré Syndrome from a Vaccine in California?

We can help if you got Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) from a vaccine in California. There’s a federal program called the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) that pays people with severe vaccine reactions. There are a few steps to follow in order to file a claim in the VICP. 

1. First, it’s important to hire an experienced attorney who practices in the Court of Federal Claims. 
2. The vaccine injury attorneys at mctlaw file your claim and submit all evidence to the court, including expert medical witnesses reports and comprehensive medical records. 
3. Our team represents you throughout the process and advocates for you. We consult with your doctors and outside medical experts to give your case the best chance of a settlement.

What Types of Vaccines are Linked to Guillain-Barré Syndrome?

The flu shot and the HPV vaccine are the shots most commonly connected to GBS. According to The Journal of the American Medical Association, GBS is the most common neurological disease people get after the influenza shot.

In 88% of our cases, the flu shot is the vaccine reported prior to getting GBS. Studies show that in 70% of cases of GBS after the HPV vaccine symptoms show up within six weeks. GBS has also been linked to MMR, Tetanus, and other vaccines.

What Should I do After Getting GBS from a Vaccine?

If you got GBS from a vaccine, there are a few things that you should consider doing: 

1. First, hire an attorney who is licensed to practice in the Vaccine Court in the United States Court of Federal Claims. Find out why you should not retain a local personal injury lawyer.
2. Get a copy of your vaccine administration record from your healthcare provider. This record shows what vaccine you got and the date you got the vaccine. 
3. Get a copy of your first doctor’s appointment for your vaccine reaction.
4. Contact us to review these important documents so our vaccine injury team can review your case at no cost to you. 

Our vaccine injury attorneys file your case and submit evidence to the court to show the relationship between your GBS and the vaccine you got. We consult with expert medical witnesses throughout the process and advocate on your behalf.

I can’t recommend this firm enough. They have an outstanding team that truly care for their clients…I have been awarded a fair six figure settlement.

Nate M.

When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
