Case summary [AI summaries can sometimes make mistakes]
On September 20, 2024, Tyrone Martin filed a petition alleging that an influenza vaccination administered on November 2, 2023 caused a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration. Respondent filed a combined Rule 4(c) report and damages proffer on April 14, 2025, conceding that Mr.
Martin's injury was consistent with Table SIRVA and that he met the legal prerequisites for compensation. The public entitlement and damages rulings do not describe his first symptom, onset interval, medical examinations, imaging, treatment, therapy, or functional limitations.
Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found entitlement and awarded damages on April 14, 2025.
Mr. Martin received $45,000.00 for pain and suffering, paid as a lump sum through counsel's IOLTA account.
A later September 16, 2025 decision addressed attorneys' fees and costs only.
