He further alleged that he experienced residual effects from this injury for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused the petitioner's alleged injuries or current condition. The parties, represented by Tara C. O’Mahoney for the petitioner and Althea W. Davis for the respondent, reached a stipulation to resolve the case. Special Master Laura D. Millman reviewed the stipulation and found its terms to be reasonable. On June 10, 2015, the court adopted the stipulation and awarded Michael Antros $75,000.00 in compensation for all damages. This award was to be paid as a check for $75,000.00 made payable to the petitioner. Separately, on June 15, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation regarding attorneys' fees and costs. Petitioner's counsel asserted that the petitioner incurred no costs. Petitioner's application for attorneys' fees and costs was initially met with objections from the respondent. Following informal discussions and amendments to the application, the parties agreed on an amount of $11,225.68. Special Master Millman found this amount to be reasonable and awarded $11,225.68 for attorneys' fees and costs. This award was to be paid as a check made payable jointly to the petitioner and the Law Offices of Chicago-Kent College of Law. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, clinical details of the brachial neuritis, diagnostic tests performed, treatments received, or the specific mechanism of causation.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Laura D.
