Wiley Terry v. HHS - Influenza, arm injury and/or brachial neuritis (2016)

Wiley Terry filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on August 25, 2014, alleging that he developed an arm injury and/or brachial neuritis as a result of receiving Tdap, MMR, polio, influenza, and Twinrix immunizations on September 27, 2013. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that these immunizations caused the petitioner's injury.

Despite the denial, the parties reached a settlement agreement. The joint stipulation, filed on November 13, 2015, outlined the terms of the settlement.

The respondent agreed to pay a lump sum of $70,000.00 to Wiley Terry as compensation for all damages. Additionally, the respondent agreed to pay a lump sum of $13,382.38 to both Wiley Terry and his attorney, Anne C.

Toale, Esq., to cover attorneys' fees and costs. The Special Master adopted the parties' stipulation and awarded the compensation as set forth therein, finding the stipulated fees to be reasonable.

Judgment was directed to be entered in accordance with this decision.
