About Sadaka Law: Who We Are and Why We Practice Differently
Not every personal injury firm is equipped to handle a vaccine injury claim. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program operates through a specialized federal court with its own rules, medical standards, and evidentiary requirements. The attorneys who navigate it successfully need a depth of preparation that goes well beyond general litigation experience. Sadaka Law is a vaccine injury law firm built specifically for this work.
Based in Englewood, New Jersey, we represent clients nationwide in VICP claims. We have recovered millions of dollars for people seriously harmed by covered vaccines. Our attorneys bring more than 40 years of combined experience to every case we handle, along with a rare combination of legal skill and scientific knowledge that allows us to evaluate, build, and litigate vaccine injury claims at the highest level.
When you are trying to determine whether you have a claim and which attorney to trust, the firm you choose can make all the difference. That is the standard we bring to every vaccine injury claim we handle.
A strong medical background combined with legal talent differentiates us in the legal profession.

Our Credentials and Experience
Sadaka Law was founded by Mark T. Sadaka, an attorney whose background sets him apart in the field of vaccine injury litigation. Mark holds a Master of Science in Public Health with a specialization in toxicology and risk assessment from Tulane University, a credential that shapes how our firm approaches every claim we handle. That scientific background allows our team to engage with complex medical evidence at a level that goes beyond legal analysis alone, strengthening how we evaluate causation, work with experts, and build the case for our clients.
That scientific fluency and experience handling vaccine injury matters have positioned Mark as a prominent attorney in complex vaccine-related litigation. He served as co-lead counsel and co-science chair in the nationwide Zostavax MDL, one of the most significant vaccine-related product liability proceedings in recent years, reflecting his depth of experience with complex medical and scientific evidence.
He is admitted to practice before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the federal court where all VICP petitions are filed, and has represented vaccine injury clients in proceedings across the country. He has represented over 450 people injured by vaccines over a career in this practice area spanning more than 20 years, and has achieved first-of-their-kind victories in four types of vaccine injury claims: Gardasil narcolepsy cases, flu vaccine multiple sclerosis cases, Gardasil ovarian failure cases, and Gardasil death cases.
Mark is joined by Michael H. Bowman, an attorney with more than 20 years of experience handling complex personal injury and mass tort matters. Together, our legal team brings more than 40 years of combined experience to every vaccine injury claim we handle. That experience is reflected in our results: more than $100 million recovered for clients overall, and millions secured specifically for vaccine injury victims through the VICP.
About Sadaka Law's Approach to Vaccine Injury Claims
Vaccine injury litigation demands more than legal skill. It demands a disciplined, systematic approach to case-building that accounts for the medical complexity of the injury, the evidentiary standards of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and the specific requirements of the VICP.
At Sadaka Law, we approach every claim the way we would approach a trial: with thorough preparation, detailed documentation, and a strategy built around the facts of your case rather than the path of least resistance.
That preparation begins at the earliest stage of representation. We conduct a thorough review of your medical records, work with experts to establish causation, and develop a case strategy designed to pursue the full compensation supported by the facts and applicable law. For clients with complex or atypical presentations, we go further, applying the firm's scientific and medical knowledge to evaluate claims that require a deeper understanding of causation and medical evidence than standard litigation demands.
We are also committed to keeping clients informed throughout a process that can feel overwhelming. From your first consultation through resolution of your claim, you will know where your case stands, what the next step is, and who to contact with questions. That clarity is not an afterthought at our firm. It is a core part of how we practice.
Our Mission and Values
Sadaka Law was built on a simple but deeply held conviction: that people who have been seriously harmed deserve a legal team as invested in their outcome as they are. For our founding attorney, Mark Sadaka, this is not an abstract principle. Mark became an attorney after early and personal exposure to the damage that dangerous products and corporate negligence can cause. That experience gave him a perspective that has shaped every aspect of how this firm operates, from the cases we take to the commitment we bring to every client we represent.
We describe our practice as litigation with a purpose. That means we are not here to process claims or move files. We are here to protect people, to simplify a process that can feel overwhelming, and to pursue a favorable outcome for every client who trusts us with their case. We take that responsibility seriously, and when we secure a meaningful result for a client, it matters to us personally.
That commitment extends beyond individual cases. Sadaka Law has maintained an ongoing art supply drive for the children of Englewood, New Jersey, for more than seven years, reflecting a broader belief that serving our community is part of what it means to practice law with purpose.
Working With Our Vaccine Injury Law Firm
Choosing legal representation for a vaccine injury claim is one of the most important decisions you will make during an already difficult time. The attorney you select needs to understand the VICP process, the medical science behind your injury, and how to build a case that is well prepared and supported by the available medical and legal evidence. At Sadaka Law, every aspect of how we practice is designed with that standard in mind.
When you come to us, you will receive a free initial consultation. During this discussion, we will assess the viability of your claim, outline the next steps, and give you an honest picture of what to expect. You will know where your case stands from the very first conversation. If we take your case, you pay nothing up front and nothing out of pocket. Attorney fees in VICP claims may be paid separately by the program when a claim is filed on a reasonable basis and in good faith. As a result, attorney fees often do not reduce a client's compensation award.
We take on complex and challenging vaccine injury claims because we have the scientific background, the litigation experience, and the preparation systems to pursue them effectively. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured by a covered vaccine, we are ready to help you understand your options and fight for the outcome you deserve.
