Petitioner alleged she sustained a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) and experienced residual effects for more than six months. The influenza vaccine is listed on the Vaccine Injury Table, and the parties agreed to proceed as a Table claim. Respondent denied that the flu vaccine caused Petitioner's injury or any other condition. Despite these positions, the parties reached a joint stipulation to settle the case. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran adopted the stipulation as the decision. Pursuant to the stipulation, the Special Master awarded Nancy Ann Buccigrossi a lump sum of $16,000.00, to be paid through an ACH deposit to Petitioner’s counsel’s IOLTA account for prompt disbursement to Petitioner. This amount represents compensation for all items of damages available under the Vaccine Act. The decision notes that the stipulation represents a full and complete negotiated settlement of liability and damages claimed under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, as amended, and is not an admission by the United States or the Secretary of Health and Human Services that the flu vaccine caused petitioner's injury. Petitioner was represented by Howard Scott Gold of Gold Law Firm, LLC. Respondent was represented by Austin Joel Egan of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
