Joyce Dixon-Robinson v. HHS - Influenza, Guillian-Barre syndrome (2015)

Joyce Dixon-Robinson filed a petition on September 16, 2014, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. She alleged that after receiving an influenza vaccine on November 5, 2008, she developed Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) and subsequent disability.

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged injury and disabilities. However, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation filed on September 16, 2014.

The court reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as its decision. The stipulation awarded Joyce Dixon-Robinson a total of $205,418.34.

This amount included $5,950.52 for a State of Wisconsin Medicaid lien, $15,518.34 for a second State of Wisconsin Medicaid lien, and $170,000.00 for all other damages. Subsequently, on May 18, 2015, the parties filed another joint stipulation regarding attorney's fees and costs.

The court approved a lump sum of $29,450.00 for attorney's fees and costs, payable jointly to Joyce Dixon-Robinson and her counsel. The total compensation awarded to Joyce Dixon-Robinson was $205,418.34, plus attorney's fees and costs.
