Transverse Myelitis (TM) Get Nationally Acclaimed Legal Representation

Nationwide Vaccine-Related Transverse Myelitis Lawyers

Serving Clients Nationwide in Vaccine Injury Claims & Lawsuits

Transverse myelitis is an inflammatory condition affecting both sides of the spinal cord area. This inflammation can damage or destroy the protective myelin sheaths covering nerve cell fibers, interrupting the messages spinal cord nerves send throughout the body. 

Transverse myelitis can significantly impact one’s neurological well-being. It often results from autoimmune responses triggered by infections or, in some cases, vaccines. The source and types of vaccination are frequently disputed. However, transverse myelitis may be linked to a reaction to flu or hepatitis B vaccines, as well as other types of vaccinations.

At Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates, we are committed to protecting clients across the nation who have suffered injuries or developed medical conditions from vaccines. We have a nationwide vaccine practice representing individuals in the United States Court of Federal Claims. Our firm has a high success rate in securing compensation in this field, including representation for those who have developed transverse myelitis from vaccinations.

Are You Eligible to Take Legal Action after Suffering Transverse Myelitis?

Transverse myelitis can cause severe symptoms, such as lower back pain, sensory alterations below the level of spinal cord inflammation, loss of bowel control, paralysis, and physical dysfunction, such as problems with blood pressure, heart rate, and digestion.

When would you be able to take legal action after sustaining the medical problems associated with transverse myelitis?

If you believe your diagnosis of this condition was caused by negligence, medical malpractice, exposure to toxins, or any other actionable cause, you may be eligible to pursue legal action. 

To determine eligibility, the following factors are typically considered:

  • Medical evidence: Gathering medical records, expert opinions, and diagnostic tests to establish a clear link between transverse myelitis and the alleged cause is essential in building a strong case.
  • Negligence or wrongdoing: If there is evidence of medical negligence, misdiagnosis, improper treatment, or exposure to harmful substances that led to the development of transverse myelitis, legal action may be warranted.
  • Statute of limitations: It is crucial to understand the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit related to transverse myelitis. This timeframe varies by jurisdiction but typically starts from the date of diagnosis or when the injury was discovered.
  • Financial impact: When evaluating the need for legal recourse, the financial impact of transverse myelitis, including medical expenses, lost wages, ongoing care needs, and emotional suffering, must be considered.
  • Legal counsel: Consulting with a qualified attorney specializing in medical malpractice or personal injury law can help assess the viability of a case and guide the individual through the legal process.

Individuals considering legal action due to transverse myelitis should seek personalized legal advice to thoroughly understand their circumstances and options. Legal action in such cases can help you pursue compensation for damages, hold responsible parties accountable, and potentially prevent similar incidents in the future.

Vaccine-Related Compensation

Patients may obtain recovery for transverse myelitis and other vaccine-related illnesses from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This government-run program provides individuals with financial compensation after being injured by certain vaccines. 

Proving a vaccine caused an illness is complicated. That is why having a knowledgeable and trusted transverse myelitis lawyer on your side is essential.

Compensation Available Through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program 

The VICP was designed to ensure that those affected by vaccine-related injuries receive adequate support without engaging in lengthy and costly litigation. 

Compensation can include:

  • Medical expenses: Reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary medical costs related to treating and managing the vaccine injury. This includes hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and ongoing care needs.
  • Lost wages: Compensation for any earnings lost due to time away from work. This support can be critical for individuals whose injuries significantly impact their ability to maintain employment.
  • Pain and suffering: Payments recognizing the physical and emotional distress caused by the vaccine injury. The program provides up to $250,000 for pain and suffering in recognized cases.
  • Death benefits: In the unfortunate event that a vaccine injury results in death, the VICP can compensate the family of the deceased. This can include up to $250,000 in death benefits and cover any medical and related expenses incurred before the death.
  • Legal fees: Legal costs associated with filing a claim through the VICP are typically covered, whether or not the claim results in compensation. This ensures that victims can seek justice and support without the financial burden of legal fees.

How Long Do You Have to File a Vaccine Injury Claim?

The statute of limitations requires that you file a claim with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims within three years from the onset of the first adverse symptoms post-vaccination. In the event of a vaccine-related death, a claim must be filed no later than two years from the date of death.

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 888-891-2816 today!

  • What Can I Get From a Vaccine Claim?

    The compensation under the law includes pain and suffering, loss of earnings, reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses (not reimbursed by insurance), as well as past and future life care plan costs including attendant care, home modifications, and adaptive devices as required. Additionally, no attorney’s fees or cost are charged to the injured party (Petitioner).

  • What Vaccines Are Covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program?

    Diphtheria, Tetanus, Flu (Influenza), Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Meningococcal, Pneumococcal, Polio, Rotavirus, and Varicella (Chickenpox).

    For more information on vaccines included under the VICP, visit our page on Vaccines covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).

  • How Common Are Vaccine Injuries?

    Vaccine injuries are rare when considering the number of vaccinations given nationwide. According to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (“VICP”) statistics, less than 1% of vaccine doses result in adverse reactions. Many of these are not compensated since the adverse reaction lasts less than six months. Notwithstanding, many vaccine injuries are legitimate and must be fairly compensated.

  • What is a Vaccine Injury?

    Vaccine injuries refer to any adverse events that are caused by avaccination. For instance, a vaccine injury can be caused by the wrongful administration of a vaccine. Alternatively, an autoimmune response to the ingredients of the vaccine may cause an adverse event. These types of adverse reactions are rare, but at times painful or quite serious and potentially even catastrophic.

  • What is a Vaccine Injury Lawsuit?

    There are two types of lawsuits possible for a vaccine injury. 

    1. The most common is a Petition (complaint) filed before the United States Court of Federal Claims (”USCFC”) in Washington D.C. These cases are always defended by the Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys in the Vaccine Division. The DOJ employs approximately 35 attorneys. The Vaccine Division of the USCFC has 8 full-time Special Masters (Judges) who hear these cases. To file a federal case under the Vaccine Injury Program, it is wise to retain an experienced vaccine law firm to assist you as many cases need to be supported by expert medical testimony in order to succeed. Additionally, experienced attorneys know the potential value of a case when weighing the risk and likely compensation during settlement negotiations. 

    2. The second type of vaccine lawsuit is under State Law for products liability, or personal injury. It involves paying the cost for experts and depositions and varying legal standards. It may be more difficult to prove with respect to those vaccines not covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act. For now, the traditional court system may be the only legal recourse available for non-covered vaccines. The exception to this is for Covid-19 cases. Sadly, Covid-19 cases are covered by the very restrictive Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) which is nonjudicial. Our law firm does not represent individuals in any administrative nonjudicial program.

  • How to File a Vaccine Claim?

    An individual can file a claim without legal representation. The government utilizes Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys who defend each case. Therefore, it is wise to retain an experienced and reliable vaccine injury attorney to assist you through the process and who can make sure the rules and guidelines of the court be followed that the Special Masters (Judges) require.
