Frequently asked questions about VICP attorneys
Common questions about hiring and working with attorneys in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
How do I find a good VICP lawyer?
Most petitioners hire counsel because the program's evidentiary burden, expert-witness requirements, and procedural rules are complex. Reasonable attorney fees in VICP cases are paid by the program — not by the petitioner — under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(e)(1), so engaging counsel does not reduce a successful petitioner's recovery. You can submit a free inquiry → to have your case forwarded to attorneys with VICP experience, or browse the index above to research individual attorneys' case histories.
Do VICP lawyers charge contingency fees?
No. The VICP statute provides that reasonable attorney fees and costs are paid by the program separately from the petitioner's compensation, regardless of outcome (provided the petition was filed in good faith and had a reasonable basis under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(e)(1)). Contingency-fee arrangements common in tort cases do not apply here.
How are these attorneys ranked?
Strictly by case volume — the number of VICP petitions on file with each attorney's name as petitioner counsel in published U.S. Court of Federal Claims decisions. This is a quantitative ordering, not a quality endorsement. Click any attorney's name to see their case history and compensation rate compared to the program baseline.
