Brazil.","is_death":0,"date_of_death":null,"petition_filed_date":"2023-01-10","case_summary":"Miguel Perez filed his petition on January 10, 2023, alleging that an influenza vaccination administered in his left deltoid on October 20, 2021 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. He alleged residual effects lasting more than six months and no prior civil recovery for the injury. Perez was represented by Paul R. Brazil of Muller Brazil, LLP.\n\nRespondent denied that Perez sustained a Table SIRVA, denied that the flu vaccine caused his alleged shoulder injury or any other injury, and denied that his current condition was a sequela of a vaccine-related injury. The public stipulation does not describe the first shoulder symptom, onset interval, medical visits, range-of-motion findings, imaging, injections, therapy, surgery, work impact, or daily-life limitations. It also does not identify experts or discuss a biological mechanism.\n\nThe public record therefore tells a settlement story rather than a detailed clinical one. Perez connected a left-shoulder injury to the October 2021 flu shot, respondent disputed both Table and causation theories, and the parties compromised the claim without a published entitlement analysis.\n\nChief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it on December 19, 2024. Perez received $80,000.00 in a check payable to him, representing all Vaccine Act damages available under Section 15(a).","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
