Gretchen Guerrero v. HHS - other (2014)

Gretchen Guerrero, the petitioner, filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on March 27, 2014. The case involved a prior stipulation filed on August 8, 2013, which detailed an award amount for the petitioner.

A previously assigned special master had approved this stipulation. On March 27, 2014, the parties submitted a joint stipulation specifically addressing attorneys' fees and costs.

In this stipulation, they agreed that the petitioner's counsel should receive a lump sum of $23,625.54, payable to both the petitioner and her counsel. The respondent did not object to this amount.

The public decision does not detail the specific vaccine(s) administered, the alleged injury, the onset of symptoms, medical examinations, treatments, or the specific mechanism of injury. Special Master Brian H.

Corcoran reviewed the stipulation for attorneys' fees and costs and found the requested amount to be reasonable. The decision orders that judgment be entered in accordance with the terms of the stipulation, with the award of $23,625.54 to be paid jointly to the petitioner and her counsel, Neal J.

Fialkow. The stipulation also stated that the petitioner incurred no reimbursable costs.

The decision was issued on April 22, 2014.
