Ian Marley v. HHS - Tdap, adhesive capsulitis and/or a right shoulder injury (2015)

Ian Marley filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that he suffered adhesive capsulitis and/or a right shoulder injury caused by his Hepatitis A and Tetanus-Diptheria-acellular Pertussis (Tdap) vaccinations administered on February 28, 2014. He claimed the residual effects of his injury lasted for more than six months.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccinations caused the alleged injuries. Despite the denial, the parties reached a settlement.

On April 2, 2015, they filed a stipulation agreeing to settle the case, with the respondent agreeing to pay Ian Marley a lump sum of $40,000.00 for all damages. The court adopted this stipulation and awarded the compensation.

Subsequently, on August 25, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation for attorneys' fees and costs, agreeing to an award of $12,209.88. The court found this amount reasonable and awarded it as a lump sum, jointly payable to Ian Marley and his counsel.

The total compensation awarded to Ian Marley was $52,209.88.
