What Should I do if I get Guillain-Barré Syndrome from a Vaccine in New York?

If you got GBS after a vaccine or flu shot in New York, you may be eligible to file a claim in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The VICP is a federal program that pays people who have been hurt or injured by vaccinations. The program has paid out billions of dollars so far, and more compensation is available if you have a vaccine injury in New York. 

There are a few steps to follow in order to file a vaccine injury claim with the VICP: 

1. Hire an attorney who is licensed to practice in the Federal Vaccine Court in Washington, DC. 
2. Get a copy of your vaccine administration record from your healthcare provider. This record shows which 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 team represents you throughout the process and advocates for you in a very complex legal proceeding.

As an experienced leader in these types of lawsuits, we were confident the firm would have the expertise. However, what surprised us most was the high level of excellent customer service from the firm’s staff!

Pat R.

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.
