Vaccine injury workers' compensation
San Diego vaccine injury workers' compensation attorney
We represent workers who believe they were injured by a vaccination required or recommended in connection with their job, and who may have a workers' compensation claim. We can review your situation and explain the process.
How workers' compensation may apply
Workers' compensation is a no-fault system. In a work-related injury claim, you generally do not need to prove that anyone was at fault. You need to show that the injury is connected to your employment. Where a vaccination was required or recommended by an employer, an injury that follows may be the basis for a workers' compensation claim.
Workers' compensation can provide medical care and, in qualifying cases, wage replacement and other benefits. It is a separate process from other legal avenues, and it does not necessarily prevent other claims.
Reviewing your situation
We can review the facts of your situation and explain whether a workers' compensation claim may be available and how the process works. Workers' compensation attorneys generally work on a contingency basis, so there is typically no upfront cost to have your claim evaluated.
In one matter, our firm obtained a workers' compensation settlement of more than $50,000 for a worker with a vaccine-related injury. Results vary.

Patrick assisted me in my case for over two years. He fought for me to obtain a very excellent settlement and treated me like a family member. I will absolutely use his services again and recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you, H&H team.
Mr. Patrick is an excellent attorney. Great communication, and he explains the process. He always responded promptly and worked around my work schedule. I was rear-ended by an underinsured motorist, but he still got me outstanding medical care and a settlement. Highly recommend!
