Lisa A. Lindman v. HHS - Influenza, right shoulder injuries, including bursitis (2018)

Lisa A. Lindman filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on December 5, 2017, alleging that she suffered right shoulder injuries, including bursitis, resulting from an influenza vaccine she received on September 29, 2015.

The respondent conceded that her injury was consistent with a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) as defined on the Vaccine Injury Table and that she satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. A ruling on entitlement was issued on December 5, 2017, finding her entitled to compensation.

Subsequently, on January 4, 2018, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, indicating that Ms. Lindman should be awarded $75,000.00, which she agreed to.

The decision awarding damages was issued on April 18, 2018, granting Ms. Lindman a lump sum payment of $75,000.00.

The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests performed, or treatments received. Petitioner was represented by Nancy Routh Meyers of Ward Black Law, and respondent was represented by Claudia Barnes Gangi of the U.S.
