Carl S. Fish v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and/or Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) (2016)

Carl S. Fish filed a petition on September 11, 2015, alleging that the influenza vaccine he received on January 8, 2014, caused him to develop Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and/or Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP).

The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Fish's conditions.

However, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation. The court reviewed the stipulation and found it to be reasonable, adopting it as its decision.

The stipulation awarded Mr. Fish a lump sum of $200,000.00 for all damages.

Subsequently, on December 3, 2015, the parties filed another stipulation regarding attorney's fees and costs. This stipulation awarded Petitioner's counsel $5,760.00 and Petitioner $400.00 for reimbursable costs.

The court approved these amounts as reasonable and directed that judgment be entered accordingly. The total compensation awarded to Mr.

Fish was $206,160.00.
