Laura Williams v. HHS - Influenza, allergic reaction and related complications (2016)

Laura Williams filed a petition on February 22, 2016, seeking compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. She alleged that she suffered an allergic reaction and related complications as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on or about December 3, 2013.

The respondent denied that the vaccine caused her condition. However, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation, which was filed on February 22, 2016.

Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the stipulation and found it to be reasonable, adopting it as the court's decision.

The stipulation awarded Laura Williams a lump sum of $20,000.00, representing compensation for all damages available under the program. The court approved this award and directed that judgment be entered.

Petitioner was represented by Amber Diane Wilson of Maglio Christopher and Toale, and the respondent was represented by Glenn MacLeod of the U.S. Department of Justice.
