Rose Scott v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) (2015)

Rose Scott filed a petition for vaccine compensation on January 13, 2015, alleging that she suffered from Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on November 19, 2007. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused her alleged injury.

Despite maintaining their positions, both parties agreed to settle the case. A stipulation was filed on January 8, 2015, outlining the terms of the settlement.

The court adopted this stipulation as its decision, awarding Rose Scott a lump sum of $287,500.00 for all remaining damages. Subsequently, on May 29, 2015, the parties filed another joint stipulation regarding attorney's fees and costs.

They agreed that Petitioner's counsel should receive $52,738.60. The Special Master approved this amount as reasonable and directed that judgment be entered accordingly.

The total compensation awarded to Rose Scott was $340,238.60, covering both damages and attorney's fees and costs.
