SIRVA Injury Attorneys

SIRVA, or Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration, occurs when a vaccine is improperly injected into the shoulder joint or too high on the arm. This can cause damage to the surrounding tissues, leading to severe pain and other complications. While rare, SIRVA injuries can have a lasting impact on a person’s quality of life.

Symptoms of SIRVA

According to WebMD, the primary symptoms of SIRVA include:

• Significant shoulder pain.

• Reduced range of motion or difficulty moving the shoulder.

Other potential injuries related to SIRVA may include:

• Adhesive Capsulitis: Commonly known as “frozen shoulder.”

• Bursitis: Inflammation of the shoulder’s bursae.

• Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tendonitis or tears in the rotator cuff.

• Nerve Damage: Symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or paresthesia.

• Long-term Complications: Chronic pain or injuries requiring surgical intervention.

If you experience these symptoms, it’s important to consult a medical professional and document your injuries as soon as possible.

Causes of SIRVA

SIRVA is often the result of:

• Improper Injection Technique: Injecting too high or deep in the shoulder.

• Errant Needle Placement: Misplacement of the vaccine needle.

• Reaction to Vaccine Components: Localized reactions to the delivered serum.

Most minor shoulder discomfort resolves within 24 to 48 hours. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it could indicate a more serious issue like SIRVA.

How a SIRVA Lawyer Can Help

A SIRVA lawyer specializes in handling cases related to vaccine injuries and can help you navigate the legal process. They are well-versed in:

• The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP): A federal program designed to compensate individuals harmed by vaccines.

• Filing and Managing Claims: Securing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional suffering.

Our experienced legal team ensures that every case is handled with attention and expertise, providing you with the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.

Qualifying for a SIRVA Claim

Most vaccines can potentially lead to SIRVA if improperly administered. Cases we accept typically involve:

• Onset of pain in the vaccinated shoulder within 48 hours of receiving the vaccine.

• Medical consultation and documentation of the injury within three months of vaccination.

Common vaccines associated with SIRVA claims include the influenza vaccine, Tdap vaccine, and Prevnar vaccine. Additional conditions such as Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), transverse myelitis, and optic neuritis may also qualify for claims.
