Lori Walter v. HHS - Influenza, left shoulder pain and related symptoms (2026)

Lori Walter filed a petition alleging that the flu vaccine she received on December 23, 2020, caused left shoulder pain and related symptoms. She initially retained counsel, but her attorney later filed a motion to withdraw.

Ms. Walter indicated she would find new counsel, but nearly two years passed without any communication or filings from her or any new counsel.

The court ordered her to have new counsel enter an appearance, but she did not comply. The case was eventually designated as pro se.

Ms. Walter moved and did not inform the court of her new contact information, leading to mail being returned as undeliverable.

After two orders to show cause were also returned undelivered, and Ms. Walter failed to respond by the deadline, the court dismissed her case for failure to prosecute.

No compensation was awarded.
