How Do I Get Help If My Doctor Doesn’t Believe Me?
At the Law Offices of Leah V. Durant & Associates, we understand how frustrating and disheartening it can be when your doctor doesn’t believe you, especially when you’re dealing with symptoms or injuries following a vaccination. Medical professionals may not always have the complete picture or may misunderstand the potential connections between vaccines and certain conditions, such as shoulder pain after vaccination, or GBS from the flu shot. If you feel like your concerns are being dismissed or minimized, you are not alone—and you have options.
Steps You Can Take:
1. Seek a Second Opinion
One of the most important things you can do is seek a second opinion. Another medical professional may be more familiar with vaccine-related injuries and better equipped to take your concerns seriously. Sometimes, specialists in immunology, neurology, or rheumatology are more knowledgeable in recognizing vaccine-related conditions.
2. Document Your Symptoms
Keeping a thorough record of your symptoms can strengthen your case. Document your symptoms, their onset, and any other medical visits or treatments. These records will not only help support your case but can also provide invaluable information to a new healthcare provider who may better understand your situation.
3. Connect with a Vaccine Injury Attorney
If you’ve suffered an injury that you believe is vaccine-related, you may be eligible for compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Our law firm specializes in vaccine injury claims and can guide you through the entire process—from obtaining medical records to filing a claim. We work closely with medical professionals who understand the complexities of vaccine injuries and can offer the expert testimony needed to support your case.
4. Educate Yourself About Vaccine-Related Injuries
Understanding the link between vaccines and certain injuries is crucial. Conditions like Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), Brachial Neuritis, or shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) are well-documented, even though not all doctors may recognize them. Our legal team can provide you with resources and expert insights to help you advocate for yourself in the medical community.

How Am I Going to Be Able to Pay My Bills After a Vaccine Injury?
A vaccine-related injury can disrupt your life in unexpected and stressful ways—especially when it impacts your ability to work or manage daily tasks. One of the most common concerns we hear from clients is, “How am I going to be able to pay my bills?” At the Law Offices of Leah V. Durant & Associates, we understand that financial strain is one of the most difficult aspects of recovering from a vaccine injury, such as shoulder pain after vaccination, or Guillain-Barre Syndrome from the flu shot. We are here to guide you through the process and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
Financial Compensation Through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP)
If you’ve suffered a vaccine-related injury, you may be eligible for compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This federal program was created specifically to help people like you manage the financial impact of vaccine injuries, covering a wide range of costs, including:
1. Medical Expenses
The VICP can cover the cost of medical care, including hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, medications, and future treatment you may need as a result of your vaccine injury.
2. Lost Wages
If your vaccine injury has prevented you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This includes not only your past lost income but also any future earnings you may miss out on due to your injury.
3. Pain and Suffering
In addition to direct financial losses, the VICP also provides compensation for the pain and suffering you’ve experienced as a result of your vaccine injury. This can help ease the emotional burden during your recovery.
4. Out-of-Pocket Expenses
You may also be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket costs related to your injury, such as travel expenses for medical care or home health services.
Our Legal Team is Here to Help You Navigate the VICP
Filing a claim with the VICP can be a complex and time-consuming process, but you don’t have to go through it alone. At Leah V.

Shouldn’t Someone Be Held Responsible for My Injury?
If you’ve suffered an injury following a vaccination such as shoulder pain from a vaccination, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, or some other vaccine injury, it’s natural to feel frustrated and want to hold someone accountable for the harm you’ve experienced. At the Law Offices of Leah V. Durant & Associates, we understand the desire for justice when faced with the physical, emotional, and financial challenges of a vaccine injury. You deserve answers, but vaccine injury cases are handled differently from other types of personal injury claims.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP)
In the United States, vaccine manufacturers and healthcare providers who administer vaccines are shielded from lawsuits and all claims are instead paid through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This federal program was established to ensure that individuals who suffer serious side effects from vaccines can still receive compensation for their injuries, without the need to sue vaccine manufacturers or their healthcare providers.
While this may seem unfair at first, the VICP was designed to provide a streamlined and more efficient way for injured individuals to obtain compensation, while also protecting the public interest in maintaining access to life-saving vaccines. The goal of the program is to balance the need for vaccine safety with the importance of preventing the spread of preventable diseases.
Holding the Right Parties Accountable
Even though traditional lawsuits aren’t permitted for vaccine injuries, it doesn’t mean that you can’t pursue justice and compensation. Through the VICP, injured individuals can file claims and receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs.
Our law firm specializes in representing individuals who have experienced vaccine injuries, and we have successfully obtained compensation for our clients under this program. We know how to gather the necessary evidence, work with medical experts, and navigate the complexities of the VICP process.
How the VICP Works
The VICP is funded by a small tax on each vial of vaccine sold in the U.S., and claims are resolved through the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The program allows individuals to seek compensation for injuries that meet specific medical criteria, including:
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
- Shoulder Injuries Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA)
- Brachial Neuritis
- Transverse Myelitis
- And other vaccine-related conditions
By working with our experienced legal team, we can ensure that your claim is handled properly and that you have the best chance of receiving the compensation you deserve. While the VICP process is different from traditional litigation, it still provides a pathway for you to hold the system accountable for your injury.
We Fight for Your Rights
At Leah V. Durant & Associates, we know that a vaccine injury can feel like a betrayal of trust. You relied on medical professionals and the healthcare system to protect you, and when something goes wrong, it’s only fair that you seek justice. While the VICP is different from pursuing a personal injury lawsuit, we’re here to fight for your rights and ensure you receive the compensation you’re entitled to under the law.
Let Us Help You Get the Compensation You Deserve
If you’ve been injured by a vaccine and are wondering who should be held responsible, contact us today. Our team will walk you through the process of filing a claim, explain your rights, and work tirelessly to secure the compensation you need to recover and move forward.
I Don’t Know How the Vaccine Legal System Works. Is There Anyone Who Will Truly Fight on My Behalf?
Navigating the legal system after suffering a vaccine injury can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and the complex rules that govern it. You’re likely facing medical challenges, financial stress, and uncertainty about your next steps. At the Law Offices of Leah V. Durant & Associates, we understand your concerns and want you to know that you don’t have to go through this alone. We are here to fight on your behalf and guide you through every step of the process.
Understanding the Vaccine Legal System
The legal system for vaccine injuries is different from other types of personal injury cases. Instead of suing vaccine manufacturers or healthcare providers directly, vaccine injury claims are handled through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This program was established by the federal government to ensure that individuals injured by vaccines can receive compensation without going through traditional litigation, which can be time-consuming and costly.
While this may sound complicated, our firm specializes in vaccine injury law, and we have a deep understanding of how the VICP works. We have helped many clients navigate this system successfully and obtain the compensation they deserve.

Is It Even Possible to Receive Compensation for a Vaccine Injury?
If you’ve suffered a vaccine-related injury, like shoulder pain after a flu shot, or Guillain-Barre Syndrome from a vaccine, or any other type of vaccine injury, you may be wondering whether it’s even possible to receive compensation for your pain, medical expenses, and other losses. The answer is yes. The U.S. government has established a special program designed to compensate individuals who have experienced serious side effects from vaccinations. At the Law Offices of Leah V. Durant & Associates, we are here to help you navigate this process and secure the compensation you deserve.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP)
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) was created to provide compensation to people who experience adverse reactions or injuries caused by vaccines. The program was established by Congress in 1986 to ensure that those injured by vaccines could receive financial relief without having to file traditional lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers or healthcare providers. This unique system is designed to help individuals like you, while also supporting the availability and continued use of vaccines that are vital to public health.
Compensation is Possible
Through the VICP, many people have successfully received compensation for vaccine-related injuries. The program provides a structured and efficient way for individuals to be reimbursed for the financial and emotional toll of a vaccine injury, including:
- Medical Expenses: Compensation for past, current and future medical costs related to your vaccine injury.
- Lost Wages: If your injury has caused you to miss work, you may be eligible for compensation for lost income.
- Pain and Suffering: The program provides financial relief for the physical and emotional pain you have endured as a result of your injury, up to $250,000.
- Other Costs: You may also be compensated for any out-of-pocket expenses, such as rehabilitation or assistive devices.
How Our Firm Can Help You
At Leah V. Durant & Associates, we have extensive experience helping clients receive compensation through the VICP. Our team knows the ins and outs of the program and can guide you through every step of the claims process. Here’s how we can help:
1. Case Evaluation

If you are experiencing symptoms after receiving a vaccine, we will help assess your case.
2. Filing Your Claim
The claims process can be complex and requires thorough documentation, including medical records, proof of injury, and expert testimony. Our legal team will handle every aspect of filing your claim, ensuring that all necessary documentation is in order and that your case is presented in the strongest possible light.

Many individuals have successfully received compensation for vaccine-related injuries through the VICP. Since its inception, the program has awarded over $4 billion in compensation to claimants.
