Elizabeth Davis v. HHS - Tdap, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (“CRPS”) (2023)

William and Shannon Davis, as guardians of Elizabeth Davis, an adult, filed a petition alleging that Elizabeth suffered Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and related sequelae following a Tdap vaccine administered on October 1, 2013. Respondent conceded entitlement to compensation, and a Ruling on Entitlement was issued on November 15, 2017, finding Elizabeth entitled to compensation for her CRPS and related sequelae.

Respondent filed a proffer on March 27, 2023, agreeing to a payment of $104,000.00 for life care expenses in the first year and pain and suffering, and $781.21 for past unreimbursable expenses. The parties recommended a combination of lump sum payments and future annuity payments.

The Special Master adopted the proffer and awarded compensation in the agreed-upon amounts.
