Glenn C. Ryan v. HHS - Influenza, Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) (2015)

Petitioner Glenn C. Ryan filed a petition on May 23, 2013, alleging that he suffered Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused the ITP. Despite maintaining their positions, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation filed on August 24, 2015.

Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it to be reasonable.

As a result, the court awarded Glenn C. Ryan a lump sum of $25,000.00 for all damages.

Subsequently, on February 5, 2016, the parties filed another stipulation regarding attorney's fees and costs. The court approved a lump sum of $40,500.00, payable jointly to Petitioner and his counsel, Anne C.

Toale. The total compensation awarded to Glenn C.

Ryan, including damages and attorney's fees, was $65,500.00.
