Emma Adkins v. HHS - other (2013)

Emma Adkins filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. This decision addresses attorneys' fees and costs.

The parties filed a stipulation of fact agreeing on the amount for attorneys' fees and costs. Petitioner asserted she incurred no out-of-pocket expenses.

After respondent raised objections to certain items in the application, petitioner amended her request to $23,917.32, which respondent did not object to. The Special Master found this amount to be reasonable and awarded $23,917.32 in attorneys' fees and costs, to be paid jointly to the petitioner and her attorneys, Howie Law, P.C.

The clerk was directed to enter judgment accordingly. The decision was issued by Special Master Laura D.
