Respondent denied a Table SIRVA injury and causation. The parties reached a joint stipulation for settlement. The Special Master adopted the stipulation, awarding a lump sum of $45,737.52. The stipulation explicitly states it is not an admission of causation by the respondent. The theory of causation is based on a \"Table\" SIRVA injury, as the influenza vaccine is listed in the Vaccine Injury Table for SIRVA. No specific medical experts or detailed clinical information regarding the mechanism of injury were detailed in the public decision. Petitioner was represented by Jeffrey S. Pop, and respondent by Robert Paul Coleman, III. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey issued the decision on October 25, 2019, based on the stipulation filed September 5, 2019.","is_death":0,"date_of_death":null,"petition_filed_date":"2017-11-13","case_summary":"Sharon Orange filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on November 13, 2017, alleging that she suffered a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) after receiving an influenza vaccine on December 12, 2016. She further alleged that her injury lasted more than six months. The respondent denied that petitioner sustained a Table SIRVA injury and denied that the influenza vaccine caused her shoulder injury or any other injury. Despite these differing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on September 5, 2019, agreeing to a settlement. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey reviewed the stipulation and found it reasonable, adopting it as the decision of the Court. Pursuant to the stipulation, a lump sum of $45,737.52 was awarded to Sharon Orange, payable to her, as compensation for all items of damages available under 42 U.S.C. § 15(a). The decision notes that the stipulation does not constitute an admission of causation by the respondent. The parties also agreed to further proceedings for reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The decision was posted on the Court of Federal Claims website, with petitioner having 14 days to identify information for redaction. Petitioner was represented by Jeffrey S. Pop of Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates, and respondent was represented by Robert Paul Coleman, III of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Nora Beth Dorsey","petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":"Sharon Orange","petitioner_attorney_name":"Jeffrey S.
