Marc Meyer v. HHS - other (2017)

Marc Meyer filed a petition for vaccine compensation on August 17, 2017, alleging injury from a vaccine listed on the Vaccine Injury Table. The public decision does not specify the vaccine or the date of vaccination.

Mr. Meyer moved for a decision dismissing his petition on August 15, 2017, acknowledging his inability to prove entitlement to compensation.

To receive compensation, a petitioner must prove either a "Table Injury" or that the injury was actually caused by a vaccine. The record did not contain evidence of a "Table Injury." Furthermore, the record lacked a medical expert's opinion or other persuasive evidence indicating that Mr.

Meyer's injury was vaccine-caused. The petition was not supported by medical records or a physician's opinion.

Consequently, the case was dismissed for insufficient proof of causation by Special Master George L. Hastings.

No award was granted.
