Logan Osberg v. HHS - Influenza, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2016)

Logan Osberg filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alleging that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as a result of an influenza vaccine he received on November 13, 2014. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Mr.

Osberg was entitled to compensation for his left shoulder injury. The respondent concluded that the injury was compensable as a 'caused-in-fact' injury and that all statutory and jurisdictional requirements had been met.

Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, the Chief Special Master found Mr. Osberg entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, the parties filed a joint stipulation for damages, agreeing to an award of $90,000.00 for the injury and $15,382.58 for attorneys' fees and costs. The court awarded a total of $105,382.58, with $90,000.00 payable to Mr.

Osberg and $15,382.58 payable to Mr. Osberg and his counsel.
