DECISION ON DAMAGES1

On February 8, 2016, Saurabh and Mukta Agarwal, on behalf of their then-minor
daughter Radhika Agarwal (R.A.), filed a petition in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation
Program.2 Petition (ECF No. 1). Petitioners alleged that as a result of receiving tetanus-
diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) and meningococcal (Menactra) vaccines on August 5, 2013,
R.A. developed autoimmune limbic encephalitis (ALE) with the associated biomarker of GAD
antibodies, and the residual effects of cognitive deficits and intractable epilepsy. Respondent
recommended against compensation. Respondent’s Report filed February 27, 2017 (ECF No.
35). Each party submitted expert reports and an entitlement hearing was held on November 14 –

Pursuant to the E-Government Act of 2002, see 44 U.S.C. § 3501 note (2012), because this opinion contains a
reasoned explanation for the action in this case, I intend to post it on the website of the United States Court of
Federal Claims. The court’s website is at http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/aggregator/sources/7. Before the opinion is
posted on the court’s website, each party has 14 days to file a motion requesting redaction “of any information
furnished by that party: (1) that is a trade secret or commercial or financial in substance and is privileged or
confidential; or (2) that includes medical files or similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of privacy.” Vaccine Rule 18(b). An objecting party must provide the court with a proposed
redacted version of the opinion. Id. If neither party files a motion for redaction within 14 days, the opinion will be
posted on the court’s website without any changes. Id.

RESPONDENT’S PROFFER ON AWARD OF COMPENSATION

In his Ruling on Entitlement issued on August 31, 2020, Special Master Gowen found

that a preponderance of the evidence supported petitioners’ claim that after receiving the Tdap

and Menactra vaccinations on August 5, 2013, Radhika Agarwal (R.A.) developed autoimmune

limbic encephalitis (ALE) with the associated biomarker of GAD antibodies, and the residual

effects of cognitive deficits and intractable epilepsy. See Ruling on Entitlement (Document 117,

filed August 31, 2020). Respondent now proffers the following regarding the amount of

compensation to be awarded.1

I. Items of Compensation

A. Life Care Items

1
The parties have no objection to the amount of the proffered award of damages. However, respondent
reserves his right, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-12(f), to seek review of the special master’s August 31, 2020 ruling
on entitlement, finding petitioners entitled to an award under the Vaccine Act. This right accrues following issuance
of the damages decision.

-1-
 Respondent engaged life care planner, M. Virginia Walton, M.S.N., RN, FNP, CLCP,

and petitioners engaged Maureen Clancy, RN, BSN, CLCP, to provide an estimation of R.A.’s

future vaccine-injury related needs. For the purposes of this proffer, the term “vaccine related”

is as described in the Special Master’s Ruling on Entitlement. All items of compensation

identified in the life care plan are supported by the evidence and are illustrated by the chart

entitled Appendix A: Items of Compensation for R.A., attached hereto as Tab A. 2 Petitioners

agree.

B. Lost Future Earnings

The parties agree that based upon the evidence of record, R.A. will not be gainfully

employed in the future. Therefore, respondent proffers that R.A. should be awarded lost future

earnings as provided under the Vaccine Act, 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a)(3)(B). Respondent

proffers that the appropriate award for R.A.'s lost future earnings is $1,156,545.66. Petitioners

agree.

C. Pain and Suffering

Respondent proffers that R.A. should be awarded $250,000.00 in actual pain and

suffering. See 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a)(4). Petitioners agree.

D. Past Unreimbursable Expenses

Evidence supplied by petitioners documents their expenditure of past unreimbursable

expenses related to R.A.’s vaccine-related injury. Respondent proffers that petitioners should be

awarded past unreimbursable expenses in the amount of $84,643.06. Petitioners agree.

The chart at Tab A illustrates the annual benefits provided by the life care plan. The annual benefit years
run from the date of judgment up to the first anniversary of the date of judgment, and every year thereafter up to the

-2-
 E. Medicaid Lien

Respondent proffers that R.A. should be awarded funds to satisfy an Illinois Department

of Healthcare and Family Services Medicaid lien in the amount of $812,257.97, which

represents full satisfaction of any right of subrogation, assignment, claim, lien, or cause of action

the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services may have against any individual as a

result of any Medicaid payments the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services has

made to or on behalf of R.A. from the date of her eligibility for benefits through the date of

judgment in this case as a result of her vaccine-related injury suffered on or about August 5,

2013, under Title XIX of the Social Security Act.

II. Form of the Award

The parties recommend that the compensation provided to R.A. should be made through

a combination of lump sum payments and future annuity payments as described below, and

request that the Special Master’s decision and the Court’s judgment award the following: 3

A. A lump sum payment of $2,022,234.46, representing compensation for life care

expenses in the first year after judgment ($615,688.80), lost future earnings ($1,156,545.66), and

pain and suffering ($250,000.00), in the form of a check payable to petitioners as guardian(s)/

conservator(s) of the estate of R.A., for the benefit of R.A.

anniversary of the date of judgment.

3 Should R.A. die prior to entry of judgment, the parties reserve the right to move the Court for appropriate
relief. In particular, respondent would oppose any award for future medical expenses, lost future earnings, and
future pain and suffering.

-3-
 B. A lump sum payment of $84,643.06, representing compensation for past

unreimbursable expenses, in the form of a check payable to petitioners, Saurabh Agarwal and

Mukta Agarwal.

C. A lump sum payment of $812,257.97, representing compensation for satisfaction of

the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services Medicaid lien, payable jointly to

petitioners and , and mailed to:

Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services

P.O. Box 19174
Springfield, Illinois 62794-9174
Case No: 94-238-0010641621
Attn: Tammy Roberts

Petitioners agree to endorse this payment to the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family

Services.

D. An amount sufficient to purchase the annuity contract, 4 subject to the conditions

described below, that will provide payments for the life care items contained in the life care plan,

as illustrated by the chart at Tab A attached hereto, paid to the life insurance company 5 from

In respondent’s discretion, respondent may purchase one or more annuity contracts from one or more life
insurance companies.

The Life Insurance Company must have a minimum of $250,000,000 capital and surplus, exclusive of
any mandatory security valuation reserve. The Life Insurance Company must have one of the following ratings

which the annuity will be purchased.6 Compensation for Year Two (beginning on the first

anniversary of the date of judgment) and all subsequent years shall be provided through

respondent's purchase of an annuity, which annuity shall make payments directly to petitioners

only so long as R.A. is alive at the time a particular payment is due. At the Secretary’s sole

discretion, the periodic payments may be provided to petitioners in monthly, quarterly, annual or

other installments. The "annual amounts" set forth in the chart at Tab A describe only the total

yearly sum to be paid to petitioners and do not require that the payment be made in one annual

installment.

1. Growth Rate

Respondent proffers that a four percent (4%) growth rate should be applied to all non-

medical life care items, and a five percent (5%) growth rate should be applied to all medical life

care items. Thus, the benefits illustrated in the chart at Tab A that are to be paid through annuity

payments should grow as follows: four percent (4%) compounded annually from the date of

judgment for non-medical items, and five percent (5%) compounded annually from the date of

judgment for medical items. Petitioners agree.

2. Life-Contingent Annuity

The petitioners will continue to receive the annuity payments from the Life Insurance

Company only so long as R.A. is alive at the time that a particular payment is due. Written
