Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On December 21, 2020, Loni Sansevere filed a petition seeking compensation for a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration after an influenza vaccine given on September 16, 2019. The public decision uses the spelling "Lori" in one sentence, but the caption and stipulation identify the petitioner as Loni Sansevere.
Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Ms. Sansevere's alleged SIRVA or any other injury, and denied that her current condition was vaccine-related.
The public stipulation does not describe her first shoulder symptom, treatment course, imaging, injections, therapy, or functional limitations. The parties filed a joint stipulation on January 6, 2026.
Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation that day and awarded $37,500.00 as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account.
