Janie L. Coscia Roberts v. HHS - Influenza, Transverse Myelitis (2015)

Janie L. Coscia Roberts filed a petition on December 5, 2014, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

She alleged that she suffered from Transverse Myelitis (TM) as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on November 18, 2010. The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her alleged TM or any other injury.

However, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation. The stipulation, filed on November 14, 2014, stated that the issues could be resolved by awarding compensation to Ms.

Roberts. The court reviewed the stipulation and found it to be reasonable, adopting it as its decision.

The stipulation awarded Ms. Roberts a lump sum of $100,000.00 for all damages.

Subsequently, on February 10, 2015, the parties filed another stipulation regarding attorney's fees and costs. They agreed that Ms.

Roberts's counsel should receive $15,826.05. The court approved this amount as reasonable and directed that judgment be entered accordingly.

The case was resolved by stipulation, with Ms. Roberts receiving compensation for her alleged vaccine injury.
