Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
Robert Cameron filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, alleging a left shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) resulting from an influenza vaccine he received on November 21, 2018. He claimed the vaccine was administered in the United States, he experienced residual effects for more than six months, and there had been no prior award or settlement for his condition.
Respondent denied that Mr. Cameron sustained a SIRVA Table injury or that the flu vaccine caused his injury.
Despite these differing positions, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case and award compensation. Chief Special Master Corcoran adopted the stipulation, awarding Mr.
Cameron a lump sum of $95,000.00 as compensation for all items of damages available under Section 15(a). This amount represents a negotiated settlement of liability and damages.
