What are the Common Types of Vaccine Injuries in Illinois?

Vaccine injuries seen in Illinois often fall into a few well-recognized categories. The most common is SIRVA (shoulder injury related to vaccine administration), which can cause severe shoulder pain, limited range of motion, bursitis, or rotator cuff tears after an injection placed too high or too deep into the bursa. We also see neurologic conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome following certain vaccines, brachial neuritis (often linked to tetanus-containing shots), transverse myelitis, and autonomic or small-fiber neuropathies that lead to weakness, numbness, or burning pain. Serious allergic reactions like anaphylaxis can occur minutes after vaccination, and fainting (vasovagal syncope) may lead to head, dental, or facial injuries from a fall. Less frequently, encephalitis, seizures, or chronic inflammatory conditions are alleged, requiring careful medical documentation. If you’re experiencing persistent pain, neurological symptoms, or functional limits after a shot in Illinois, you may have a compensable vaccine injury. We know how to evaluate patterns in each matter, gather the right evidence, and present them effectively—Siri & Glimstad is the right firm for your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I file a vaccine injury claim in Illinois?

Illinois residents file through the federal VICP, not state court. An attorney gathers records, prepares the petition, files in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (vaccine court), and manages hearings, expert reports, and deadlines while you focus on recovery.

Do I need an Illinois vaccine court lawyer, and what will it cost?

A dedicated vaccine attorney improves your potential outcome and reduces stress. Most matters are handled on contingency. Under the VICP, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs are typically paid by the program, so clients usually owe nothing out of pocket.

What compensation is available for Illinois vaccine injury claims?

Illinois claimants may recover unreimbursed medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering (subject to statutory limits) through the VICP. Awards are case-specific; thorough documentation, credible experts, and experienced counsel help maximize available vaccine injury compensation.

Which vaccines commonly lead to claims in Illinois?

In Illinois, frequent claims involve, but are not limited to, flu shots, MMR, HPV, Hepatitis B, and Tdap vaccines. Alleged injuries often include SIRVA and certain neurologic conditions. Prompt evaluation and filing help preserve evidence and timelines critical to a successful VICP petition.

From Our Vaccine Injury Clients

Thank you for everything. It was a pleasure working with you. I am so grateful that there are lawyers like you and firms like Siri and Glimstad that will fight for those who were harmed by vaccines. We were truly blown away by everything you wrote in her request for a medical accommodation. You are absolutely the best at what you do!

Hi Wendy, the check just arrived. I do not know how to express how grateful I am for all you have done to help me. All I can say is thank you, which hardly seems enough to me. You really are not only good at your job, but so patient & kind. A great attorney and human being–a rare combo.

I’m sincerely thankful for Attorney Ed Krieger and his team (Tonya) for assisting me through the process of the vaccine injury claim that I filed. He is very knowledgeable and was so sincere with educating me on my lawsuit and the necessary steps that I need to take to advocate for myself as well with the complexity of my case and just in general. He spent a couple of hours on the phone with me giving me the best advice/guidance and I greatly appreciate him for that. Please consider Attorney Ed

Alison Haskins represented me in a vaccine injury compensation claim. She and her paralegal, Tara Thorn, made the process easy. They kept me informed every step of the way, promptly replied to any of my inquiries, and worked efficiently and professionally to a satisfactory settlement. I highly recommend them.

From the very beginning, Jessica and her team were very professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in my case. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions clearly, and made a stressful situation much easier to manage. Thanks to their expertise, preparation, and strong advocacy, we achieved a successful outcome in my case.

Debra Gambella and Jessica Wallace assisted me in navigating the details of my GBS case. They made the process significantly less confusing and were always, often more than once, willing to patiently explain things. I also appreciated their accessibility. They were almost always available and more than once, I spoke with Jessica long after traditional business hours. GBS was tough, but Debra and Jessica made it far less unpleasant.

Nathan did a great job on my injury case. He was very professional and always responded any questions I had immediately. Highly recommend.

Christopher Williams my Vaccination lawyer was a very knowledgeable person. His compassion was felt as he guided and helped me through each step. Kind and considerate compassionate nature was a blessing. SIRILLP IS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH A PERSON REPRESENTING YOUR COMPANY. Its individuals like Chris Williams that make a difference in our lifes. I highly recommend him. Wonderful lawyer and person. Job well done, he made the whole process easy.

Now that I received the settlement check, please allow me to thank and commend you for the hard work you and your team did on my behalf to negotiate and secure a settlement of my SIRVA case that far exceeded expectations. The updates on how the case was proceeding, explanation of the process as it moved along and your patience answering all my questions kept my confidence in the likelihood of a successful outcome. Thanks again so much and have a wonderful holiday season.

Nathan was nothing short of exceptional in handling my son’s vaccine injury case. From the very beginning, he was attentive, empathetic, and genuinely understood how much my son’s health and well-being meant to me. He fought tirelessly to win our case and delivered results. If you’re looking for a vaccine injury lawyer who truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend Nathan. You will not be disappointed.

Alison Haskins represented us for my husband's vaccine injury claim and resulted in our winning the case. I especially appreciated that she treated my husband, traumatized by his experience, as a person. She communicated with us often, was kind and patient when he asked her to explain how the legal process worked, as often as he asked her to clarify. We are so happy that we trusted Alison's advice and followed her guidance. Her legal expertise made a significant positive impact on our lives.

I had a bad experience in my Dr office with the flu shot . It was put in the wrong part of my arm and shoulder. After many years of gathering evidence and working with Christopher I finally just settled my vaccine case. Thank you so much for helping me go through this difficult time as I was also being a caretaker for my mother who had dementia. I appreciate everything you all have done and would recommend you to anyone I come across. Thanks again.

I've known Mr. Kent Williams for years. He has helped me a lot with some cases and I would recommend him on anything. If I had to give him a grade I will give him my A+. Thank you.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Jessica Wallace and her team at Siri & Glimstad for their exceptional service and dedication to my lengthy case. They kept me informed every step of the way, ensuring I was never left in the dark. Their team made a complex and lengthy process remarkably easy to navigate, providing guidance and support whenever I needed it. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to my case were truly impressive. I highly recommend Jessica Wallace.

Hello Alison, Thank you! Your exceptional legal representation changed our lives. We rebuilt our bathroom and our kitchen rendering them handicapped accessible, plus we saved over half to use in case we need home health care in the future. Attached are a couple of photos.
