John N. Kump v. HHS - Influenza, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) (2016)

John N. Kump filed a petition on August 14, 2013, alleging that an influenza vaccine he received on September 30, 2010, caused him to develop chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).

Respondent denied that the vaccination caused petitioner's CIDP or any other injury. The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation on February 1, 2016, to settle the case.

Special Master Christian J. Moran reviewed the stipulation, found it reasonable, and adopted it as the decision of the Court.

Petitioner was awarded a lump sum payment of $330,000.00, payable to John N. Kump, representing compensation for all damages available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a).

The stipulation also noted that proceedings would be held to award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Petitioner was represented by Danielle Strait of Maglio Christopher and Toale, PA, and respondent was represented by Justine Walters of the U.S.

Department of Justice. The decision was issued by Special Master Moran.
