M.L. v. HHS - MMRV, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (“ADEM”) resulting in developmental delays (2014)

Chari and Matthew Lehan, parents of M.L., filed a petition on March 2, 2010, alleging that the ProQuad and Prevnar vaccines M.L. received on March 16, 2006, caused him to suffer acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) resulting in developmental delays. The parties reached a stipulation of fact, and the court issued a decision awarding compensation on August 22, 2013.

Subsequently, on February 19, 2014, the court issued a decision on attorneys' fees and costs, awarding the petitioners $62,000.00 for fees and costs and $2,200.00 for out-of-pocket litigation expenses, totaling $64,200.00. The decision was redacted to protect the minor's identity.
