DECISION (ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS)
In this case under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program,1 I issued a
Decision on February 18, 2015. On July 30, 2015, Petitioners filed an Application for award of
attorneys’ fees and costs in this matter. Petitioners’ Application requests a total payment of
$1,352.50, representing attorneys’ fees and costs of $1,102.50, and $250 of costs expended by
Petitioners.
Respondent has not filed any objection to Petitioners’ Application for award of attorneys’
fees and costs.
I find that this Petition was filed and pursued in good faith and with a reasonable basis.
Thus, an award for fees and costs is appropriate at this time, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(b)
and (e)(1). Further, the proposed amounts seem reasonable and appropriate. Accordingly, I
hereby award the following attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(b) and
(e)(1):
1 The applicable statutory provisions defining the program are found at 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-10 et seq. (2006).
