James I. Moran v. HHS - Influenza, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) (2018)

James I. Moran filed a petition for vaccine compensation alleging that he suffered from Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on October 1, 2013.

The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the flu vaccine caused Mr. Moran's alleged CIDP and residual effects.

Despite maintaining their positions on causation, the parties reached a joint stipulation to settle the case and award compensation. The stipulation stated that the flu vaccine is on the Vaccine Injury Table, but the respondent denied causation-in-fact.

Mr. Moran alleged that he experienced residual effects of his injury for more than six months.

The parties agreed that a decision should be entered awarding compensation to Mr. Moran.

The court adopted the stipulation, awarding a lump sum of $175,000.00 to Mr. Moran for all damages.

This settlement represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages.
