Mehmet Ozgur v. HHS - Tdap, left shoulder injury (2019)

Mehmet Ozgur filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 18, 2018, alleging a left shoulder injury resulting from a Tdap vaccine received on October 29, 2016. The respondent denied that the Tdap vaccine caused a SIRVA table injury or any other injury to Mr.

Ozgur. Despite these positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation on September 26, 2019, agreeing to settle the case.

Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey adopted the stipulation, awarding Mr. Ozgur $30,000.00 in compensation for all items of damages.

This amount represents a compromise of the parties' respective positions on liability and damages. The decision was entered on September 27, 2019.

Petitioner was represented by Maximillian J. Muller of Muller Brazil, LLP, and the respondent was represented by Christine Mary Becer of the U.S.

Department of Justice.
