Michael Morgan v. HHS - Influenza, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) (2015)

Michael Morgan filed a petition on January 9, 2015, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. He alleged that he suffered from Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on September 15, 2009, and that the effects of this injury lasted for more than six months.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Morgan's alleged injuries.

However, both parties agreed to settle the issues through a stipulation filed on January 9, 2015. The court reviewed the stipulation and found it to be reasonable, adopting it as its decision.

The stipulation awarded Mr. Morgan a lump sum of $225,000.00 for all remaining damages.

Subsequently, on June 4, 2015, the parties filed another joint stipulation regarding attorney's fees and costs. They agreed that Petitioner's counsel should receive $36,818.43.

The court approved this amount as reasonable and directed that judgment be entered accordingly. The total compensation awarded to Michael Morgan was $261,818.43.
