Daniel Werner v. HHS - Influenza, Brachial Neuritis (2015)

Daniel Werner filed a petition on August 20, 2014, alleging that an influenza vaccine administered on October 22, 2012, caused him to develop Brachial Neuritis. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused Petitioner's condition.

However, the parties reached a joint stipulation for damages. Special Master Lisa Hamilton-Fieldman adopted this stipulation as the court's decision, awarding Daniel Werner a lump sum of $33,000.00 for all damages.

Subsequently, on September 15, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation for attorneys' fees and costs. The court awarded $10,882.17 in attorneys' fees and costs, payable jointly to Petitioner and his counsel, Diana S.

Sedar of Maglio Christopher & Toale, PA. The case was resolved through these stipulations, with judgment entered in accordance with the parties' agreements.

The public decision does not describe the onset of symptoms, specific medical tests, treatments, or the mechanism of causation.
