Ronny Ball v. HHS - Influenza, Guillain-Barre Syndrome / chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) (2023)
Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On March 1, 2021, Ronny Ball filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on October 9, 2018 caused Guillain-Barre Syndrome and/or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. The case resolved through stipulation rather than a contested entitlement decision.
The public stipulation does not provide a detailed clinical timeline or expert analysis, but it does describe compensation beyond a simple lump sum. Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran adopted the stipulation on April 4, 2023. Mr.
Ball was awarded a lump sum of $184,885.83 and an amount sufficient to purchase an annuity contract for future items of compensation described in the stipulation. A later attorney-fee decision did not change the injury-compensation award.
