Brandon Kennedy v. HHS - other (2014)

Brandon Kennedy filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. This decision addresses only the attorneys' fees and costs associated with the case.

The parties filed a stipulation of fact on August 22, 2014, agreeing on the amount of fees and costs. Petitioner initially sought $146,030.48 in attorneys' fees and costs, plus $469.52 in petitioner's costs.

Respondent raised objections to certain items in the application, leading to an amended application for attorneys' fees and costs totaling $146,030.48. Respondent did not object to these amounts, nor to the petitioner's costs.

The Special Master found these amounts to be reasonable and awarded $146,030.48 for attorneys' fees and costs, payable jointly to the petitioner and his law firm. Additionally, $469.52 was awarded for petitioner's costs, payable to the petitioner.

The court directed that judgment be entered accordingly.
