Chicago Vaccine Injury Attorneys that have the experience you need, the compassion you deserve.

If you’re looking for a Chicago vaccine injury lawyer who knows how to navigate the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), we’re here to help. As a Chicago vaccine injury attorney team experienced with this unique federal system—often called “vaccine court”—we guide clients through every step, from evaluating medical records to filing in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. You don’t file locally, and the compensation is nationwide. We handle cases involving shoulder injuries after a flu shot, Guillain-Barré, and other covered reactions, and we’re equally equipped if you need assistance with MMR, HPV, Hep B, or Tdap cases. Our approach is practical and thorough: we identify deadlines, assess whether your claim fits a Vaccine Injury Table category, gather expert support for off-Table claims, and keep you updated in plain English. As your VICP lawyer in Chicago, we focus on building a clear record and presenting your story effectively, aiming for fair vaccine injury compensation under the program. Whether you need a Chicago vaccine injury lawyer for a new filing or help after a denial, we bring the experience, persistence, and attention to detail your case deserves. If you believe a vaccine caused a significant injury, connect with us—our Chicago VICP attorney team is ready to evaluate your claim and pursue the recovery you’re entitled to under federal law.

What are the Common Types of Vaccine Injuries in Chicago?

In Chicago, common vaccine injuries we see include SIRVA—shoulder injury related to vaccine administration—often caused by an injection placed too high or deep, leading to lasting pain and limited range of motion. Chicago families also encounter Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare immune condition that can trigger weakness or paralysis after certain vaccines. Other recognized injuries include anaphylaxis, brachial neuritis after tetanus-containing shots, vasovagal syncope that results in falls or head injuries, and nerve or spinal cord inflammation such as transverse myelitis. We also assess chronic joint pain, neuropathic pain, and exacerbation of preexisting conditions when evidence supports a vaccine link. Because these cases proceed in a specialized federal forum rather than local courts, Chicago residents benefit from counsel who understands VICP procedures, filing deadlines, and medical proof. If you’re in Chicago and believe a vaccine caused significant harm, get experienced guidance and an advocate who knows this system—Siri & Glimstad is the right firm for your case.

GBS

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a disorder in which a person’s own immune system attacks their nerve cells. GBS often begins with tingling in the lower extremities then spreading to the upper extremities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I file a vaccine injury claim in Chicago?

To file a vaccine injury claim in Chicago, you actually petition the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. An attorney gathers records, identifies deadlines, prepares the petition, and manages expert reports and hearings, often conducted remotely.

How long does a Chicago vaccine injury case take?

Timelines vary. Many Chicago VICP cases resolve in 24 to 60 months, though straightforward Table injuries can finish sooner and complex medical disputes can take longer. The pace depends on records, special master scheduling, and whether settlement negotiations succeed.

What does a Chicago vaccine injury lawyer cost?

In the VICP, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs are typically paid by the program, not taken from your compensation, if your claim is filed in good faith with a reasonable basis. Chicago clients usually pay no upfront retainer or hourly fees.

Do I need to appear in a Chicago courtroom for my vaccine case?

No. Although you live in Chicago, VICP cases are heard by special masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. Hearings are often remote, and most evidence is submitted through medical records, affidavits, and expert reports rather than in-person testimony.
