Jaime Renee Brunkan v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2014)

Jaime Renee Brunkan filed a petition seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging she suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine. Respondent denied that the SIRVA was caused by the vaccine.

However, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation. The court reviewed the stipulation and found it to be reasonable, adopting it as its decision.

The stipulation awarded Jaime Renee Brunkan a lump sum of $50,000.00 as compensation for all damages. Subsequently, the parties filed another stipulation regarding attorneys' fees and costs, agreeing that Petitioner's counsel should receive $19,568.53 and Petitioner should receive $400.00 for out-of-pocket expenses.

The court approved these amounts as reasonable and issued an amended decision to correct a clerical error, directing that judgment be entered in accordance with the terms of the parties' stipulations.
