Deborah Ryan v. HHS - Influenza, brachial neuritis (2023)

Deborah Ryan received an influenza vaccine on October 7, 2015, and subsequently alleged she suffered from brachial neuritis. She filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on September 18, 2018.

The respondent contested entitlement, leading to the submission of expert reports from both parties. On February 9, 2023, the Special Master issued a decision finding Ms.

Ryan entitled to compensation and awarding her $85,970.45. This decision addresses Ms.

Ryan's subsequent motion for attorneys' fees and costs. The court awarded her $72,754.47 in attorneys' fees and costs, finding the requested amounts to be reasonable.

The case proceeded as a Table claim, and the final disposition was compensation.
