Trial Lawyers Serving Those Injured by a Vaccine
Generally, nobody can dispute the evidence that vaccines have been an important factor in reducing disease and improving the lives of millions. Unfortunately, however, some vaccines result in serious side effects that can cause devastating long-term health damage and even death.

Although vaccines are given to almost every child and a great number of adults in the United States, immunization programs carry a very real cost. If you believe that you or a loved one has been injured as the result of a vaccination, talking to an experienced trial lawyer can help you gain perspective on your legal options and preserve your rights. At THE KAPLAN/BOND GROUP, we serve vaccine victims nationwide.
Vaccines can have serious health risks, including:
Neurological injuries
- Encephalopathy
- Neuropathy
- Tansverse myelitis
- Seizures
Autoimmune disorders
- Guillan-Barre syndrome
- Multiple sclerosis
- Arthritis
- Autism
Much of the research linking vaccines to personal injury focuses on the antibacterial and antifungal agent thimerosal, often included in vaccines since the 1930s, and has been linked to autism.
Recognizing this, Congress has enacted the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation program to compensate families of children who have been injured by childhood vaccines. Though nothing can compensate for injuries and losses suffered by a vaccination victim, the program provides financial compensation to families to help them cope.
Our trial attorneys effectively pursue your recovery and, as a small firm, we can provide the individual attention that distressed families require.
If you are concerned that you or a child has suffered an injury or health problem because of a vaccination, contact us at our Boston or New Bedford office for a free consultation.
