Frequently Asked Questions
Can a vaccine really cause Guillain-Barré Syndrome?
Yes, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) can rarely be caused by vaccines, including flu shots or other routine immunizations. GBS is a condition where the immune system attacks the nerves, leading to weakness, tingling, or even paralysis. While most cases happen after a viral infection, vaccines have been linked to GBS in rare situations. You may be eligible to file a claim through the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). At Hultquist Law, we help people in all 50 states understand their legal rights and options. Every case is different, so we recommend setting up a consultation to review the details of your situation.
Why should I choose Hultquist Law for a Guillain-Barré Syndrome vaccine injury claim in Rhode Island or Massachusetts?
Hultquist Law has experience helping people in Rhode Island and Massachusetts who developed Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) after a vaccine. We understand how the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) works and have successfully handled GBS claims under the program. Our goal is to help you get compensation for medical bills, rehab, lost income, and pain and suffering. You won’t pay us out of pocket, since the VICP covers legal fees. If you think your GBS may be linked to a flu shot or other vaccine, a consultation can help you understand your next steps.
Am I eligible to file a vaccine injury claim for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)?
You may be eligible to file a vaccine injury claim for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) if your symptoms started within weeks after getting a covered vaccine like the flu shot, tetanus, or other routine vaccines. The vaccine must be part of the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), and your treatment for GBS must have been lasting at least six months, needing hospital care, or leading to long-term issues. If you live in New England or got your vaccine there, you can work locally with Hultquist Law, who’s based in Providence, Rhode Island. Additionally, Hultquist Law can represent anyone in the United States. Hultquist Law can review your case, help gather medical evidence, and explain if your situation meets the requirements. Since deadlines apply, it’s smart to speak with a lawyer soon to see if you qualify for compensation related to a vaccine-linked GBS diagnosis.
What if my doctor doesn’t believe the vaccine caused my Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)?
It’s not unusual for doctors to be unsure or even dismissive about a vaccine causing Guillain-Barré Syndrome. But you don’t need your doctor to agree with you to file a vaccine injury claim. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) uses expert medical opinions and your medical records—not just your doctor’s personal view. If your GBS symptoms started within a few weeks after a vaccine like the flu shot, that timing alone may support your case. We take your concerns seriously and work with medical experts to build your case. If you are dealing with GBS after a vaccine, it’s important to speak with a vaccine injury attorney who understands the legal process and can help you move forward.
How long does a Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) vaccine injury claim take?
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) vaccine injury claims usually take about 2-3 years to resolve, but the exact timeline can vary based on your case. The process includes gathering medical records, government review, and either settlement talks or a hearing. Some cases move faster if it’s clear the vaccine caused the injury, while others take longer if more evidence is needed. At Hultquist Law, we handle every step for you and keep you updated throughout. Because each case is different, it’s best to contact us to talk about your situation. We’ll help you understand what to expect and how to move forward.
Do I need a lawyer to file a Guillain-Barré Syndrome vaccine injury claim and how much does it cost?
You don’t have to hire a lawyer to file a Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) vaccine injury claim through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), but working with an experienced GBS vaccine injury lawyer is strongly recommended. These cases are complex and the government has its own attorneys defending the claim. At Hultquist Law, we know how to manage the legal process, gather medical evidence, and meet strict deadlines. You don’t pay anything out of pocket—if your case is valid, the program covers legal fees directly, even if you don’t win. This means there’s no financial risk to get help. If you think your GBS may be linked to a vaccine, it’s smart to speak with a lawyer to understand your options and how to move forward.
