Judy G. Davidson v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) (2016)

Judy G. Davidson filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging that an influenza vaccine she received on November 14, 2013, caused her to develop Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).

She further alleged that she suffered the effects of her injury for more than six months. The respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused her GBS or any other injury.

Despite the denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to an award of compensation. The court found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court.

Judy G. Davidson was awarded $160,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages.

Additionally, a separate decision addressed attorneys' fees and costs, awarding $15,563.46 as a lump sum jointly payable to Ms. Davidson and her counsel, Susan M.

Cremer. The total compensation awarded to Ms.

Davidson was $160,000.00, with separate payment for legal expenses.
