United States Federal Circuit
Griglock v. Sec'y of Health & Human Serv., 11-5134
In an estate's petition for injury compensation under the Vaccine Act, 42 U.S.C. sections 300aa-1 to 34, the Court of Federal Claims' denial of the petition and judgment affirming the decision of the Special Master is affirmed, as although the estate has standing to file a petition for compensation as the legal representative of a person who died as a result of the administration of a vaccine, entitlement is limited to death benefits because injury benefits were barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
