I experienced an auto-immune response in 2015 from the flu vaccine and became very ill. I was at a loss at what to do until I was introduced to Carol Gallagher. Carol listened empathetically to me and agreed to take on my very complicated and challenging case. She has always responded quickly to my emails and phone messages and has tirelessly guided me through this often confusing and stressful process. I have always found Carol to be focused, determined and extremely dedicated to helping me. Her excellent knowledge of the law, coupled with the manner in which she has meticulously prepared my case is unparalleled.

Physical injury, I called Carol presented her with the facts , she decided to take the case and was with me all the steps of the way. If I needed her to ask questions she would be there for me at any given time. I could text her and get an answer without having to wait or keep calling. Carol submitted my case and won. It took some time but it was worth it. I would highly recommend Carol Gallagher!

My experience with Ms. Gallagher was wonderful, she is very detail oriented and knowledgeable in her field of practice with vaccine law. She answered all of my questions and gave sound knowledgeable facts to back up her reasoning and methods for proceeding with my case. She works hard for her clients to make sure that they get everything that they deserve and she does not settle for anything less. With vaccine law there is a lot of paperwork so make sure you are always keeping a copy of everything that you have and that you send!

When I contracted Guillain-Barré Syndrome after receiving the flu vaccine one of my friends, who is a very well-respected lawyer in my state, informed me about the Federal Vaccine Fund. After consulting with several of his colleagues regarding whom I should contact for legal representation he provided me with Carol Gallagher’s name. I contacted Carol and was immediately impressed with her approachability and willingness to listen. As my court case proceeded I was soon also impressed with her legal expertise. Carol handled each step through the court system with the utmost confidence and carefully explained all the legal terminology such that I felt very comfortable with all the decisions that were being made. The outcome of my case was far beyond my expectations and clearly it was Carol who made this happen. She never gave up, she never stopped fighting on my behalf, and most importantly she never stopped caring about me as a person.

November 2002 was going to be the start of a new beginning for me and my husband. He had retired on October 31st after 32 years with the city fire department and Chief for the past 16 years. He was ready for a change and we were looking forward to a new slower paced, relaxed life!!! Not to be!! I received my annual flu shot on October 30th and 12 days later I suffered with a horrible back ache, I went to work as usual, but during the night I woke up with both feet asleep, and within hours I lost all feeling from my waist down, I fell and put a deep gash in my knee and broke 2 toes, but did not feel a thing!!! I was in the hospital for nearly a month, and had several doctors and every test imaginable, but no one really knew what was wrong with me. I was finally diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis about 2 years later and my doctor believed that the flu shot was what caused me to contact TM.  A friend's husband told me about Atty Carol Gallagher and suggested I call her. I had kept good medical records and decided to call her, I didn't have anything to lose, but figured it would not do any good. Boy, was I wrong!!! Carol was very interested and wanted to take my case. She worked and kept me updated on a regular basis, and many months later a settlement was reached, satisfactory to me. I am so grateful to Atty Gallagher for all she has done for me, and I would recommend her services to anyone, she is a fighter!! I gained a good friend as well as a nice settlement.  Linda.G.   Very satisfied client

Carol Gallagher assisted me with a claim for a shoulder injury as a result of a flu shot. I certainly recommend her highly as a competent, proficient, and knowledgeable expert in her field. She is responsive and accessible, reassuring, and an extremely effective advocate. She is a pleasure to work with, and I would certainly recommend her.

Carol was very easy to talk to and took time to explain my options regarding my real estate property tax issues. Her input enabled me to make an informed decision. I have and will continue to recommend Carol for those in need of patient, personalized professional legal services.

If you're in need of a vaccine personal injury Attorney, look no further than Carol Gallagher! I feel very fortunate to have found and contacted Ms. Gallagher regarding a shoulder injury I sustained as a result of receiving a TDAP vaccination. When my shoulder pain continued for months on end, along with limited range of motion even after many Doctor visits and Physical Therapy sessions, I began to question and look into why my condition was not improving in relation to having a simple vaccination. It was then that I learned that what I was experiencing actually had a medical term; SIRVA (Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration.) and that there were Attorneys that specialize in cases where a person is negatively affected by a vaccination. (There are other situations beyond SIRVA that are compensable.) Unsure of who to contact, I basically did a google search and the first and only Attorney I contacted was Carol Gallagher. After our initial conversation on the phone, I truly felt there was no need for me to look any further. I could tell that Ms. Gallagher was a very experienced, knowledgeable Attorney who specialized in vaccine cases and knew exactly where I was coming from after I explained to her the circumstances and symptoms of my shoulder injury. She answered all of my questions including what the process of filing a claim entailed, and possible time frames of how long my case could take to be resolved, although bear in mind each case is unique and dependent upon many variables. It has been very difficult to have to deal with sustained pain, limited physical mobility, and endless Doctor and PT appointments, but Carol has never failed to offer up encouraging words which I truly appreciated. She has always been available to me either via email or a phone call. And whenever there was something I needed to know about my case she has always promptly connected with me. There has never been a time where I didn't know exactly where we were with my case, and her insight has been invaluable. Again, I feel truly fortunate and blessed to have found and hired Ms. Gallagher as my representing Attorney. She's a complete professional whom you can rely on to vigorously pursue a fair and just resolution to your claim. If you are in need of a vaccine Attorney, I wholeheartedly recommend that you contact Ms. Gallagher. I know that for myself, I could not have gone through this entire ordeal alone. It's difficult enough to have to deal with the physical and emotional repercussions of a vaccine related injury and so hiring someone like Carol Gallagher to represent you, prepare/file all the necessary paperwork, and deal with the Federal Court and DOJ Attorneys, will truly take a load of stress off of your shoulders! Thanks so much Carol! A.C. in California
