Lindsay Hiatt v. HHS - Hepatitis B, left-sided shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) (2018)

Lindsay Hiatt filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on November 7, 2016, alleging that the Hepatitis B vaccine she received on or about December 23, 2015, caused her to develop a left-sided shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) with residual effects lasting more than six months. The respondent denied that the Hepatitis B immunization caused the alleged SIRVA or any other injury.

The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey adopted the stipulation, awarding Lindsay Hiatt a lump sum of $110,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages.

This decision was issued on December 12, 2018. Petitioner was represented by Michael G.

McLaren of Black McLaren Jones Ryland & Griffee, P.C. Respondent was represented by Ryan Daniel Pyles of the U.S.
