William J. Bodi v. HHS - Influenza, lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy (2016)

William J. Bodi filed a petition on August 29, 2016, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

He alleged that he suffered from lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy (LSRPN) as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on October 3, 2009, and that he experienced residual effects from this injury for more than six months. The Secretary of Health and Human Services, respondent, denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr.

Bodi's alleged LSRPN or any other injury. Despite maintaining their positions, both parties agreed to settle the case.

Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the file and adopted the parties' stipulation as the decision.

Mr. Bodi was awarded a lump sum of $130,000.00, payable by check to Petitioner, as compensation for all damages available under the Act.

This decision was filed on October 17, 2016. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests, treatments, or expert witnesses.

Petitioner was represented by Isaiah R. Kalinowski of Maglio, Christopher and Toale, PA, and Respondent was represented by Debra A.

Filteau Begley of the U.S. Department of Justice.
