Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On August 8, 2024, Windy Irwin filed a petition alleging SIRVA after an influenza vaccination administered on October 26, 2022. Respondent conceded entitlement, stating that the claim satisfied the Vaccine Injury Table requirements for SIRVA, and Chief Special Master Brian H.
Corcoran granted entitlement on May 5, 2025. The public damages record is a proffer record and does not describe Ms.
Irwin’s treatment course in detail. Respondent proffered $110,000.00 for pain and suffering, and Ms.
Irwin agreed. On June 13, 2025, the Special Master awarded the $110,000.00 lump sum through counsel for prompt disbursement.
The proffer states that respondent would oppose any later request for future unreimbursed expenses, future lost earnings, or future pain and suffering beyond the agreed award.
