Patrick Steven Chad MacDonald v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA), neuritis, and/or other injuries (2015)

Patrick Steven Chad MacDonald filed a petition for compensation on June 16, 2014, alleging that the influenza vaccine he received on October 14, 2013, caused him to suffer a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) and neuritis. The respondent denied that the vaccine caused the injury.

The parties reached a stipulation for compensation. The court adopted the stipulation, awarding Mr.

MacDonald a lump sum of $81,000.00 for all damages. Subsequently, on October 7, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation for attorneys' fees and costs.

Mr. MacDonald sought $42,000.00 for attorneys' fees and costs, and $906.01 for his own costs.

The respondent did not object to these amounts. The court awarded the full requested amounts for fees and costs, totaling $42,906.01, in addition to the prior award for damages.

The case was resolved through stipulations, and the petitioner received compensation for his SIRVA.
