He alleged that he suffered a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) causally related to an influenza vaccination he received on August 11, 2016. Mr. Parsons stated that he received the vaccination in the United States, had suffered residual effects of his injury for more than six months, and that neither he nor any other party had filed an action or received compensation for his alleged vaccine injury. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report on September 13, 2018, conceding that Mr. Parsons was entitled to compensation. The respondent concluded that Mr. Parsons suffered SIRVA as defined by the Vaccine Injury Table and satisfied all legal prerequisites for compensation. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence of record, Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey issued a ruling on entitlement on September 14, 2018, finding Mr. Parsons entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on October 31, 2018, Chief Special Master Dorsey issued a decision awarding damages. This decision was based on a joint Rule 4(c) Report and Proffer. The report indicated that Mr. Parsons should be awarded $3,596.31 for unreimbursable medical expenses and $107,500.00 for actual and projected pain and suffering. The respondent represented that Mr. Parsons agreed with the proffered award. Chief Special Master Dorsey awarded Mr. Parsons a lump sum payment of $111,096.31, representing $107,500.00 for actual and projected pain and suffering and $3,596.31 for unreimbursable expenses, payable by check to Albert Parsons. The decision noted that this amount represented compensation for all damages available under § 15(a). The attorneys involved were Ann Mayhew Golski for the petitioner and Robert Paul Coleman, III for the respondent. The public decision does not describe the specific onset of symptoms, medical tests performed, treatments received, or the specific mechanism of injury.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Nora Beth Dorsey","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":"Albert Parsons","petitioner_attorney_name":"Ann Mayhew Golski","petitioner_attorney_firm":"Maglio Christopher & Toale, PA","petitioner_attorney_location":"Washington, DC","adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":"2026-05-05 23:45:33","attorney_canonical_keys":"|ann-golski|","firm_canonical_key":"maglio-christopher-and-toale","package_title":"PARSONS v.
