Patricia Buchanan v. HHS - other (2014)

Patricia Buchanan filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The parties filed a stipulation of fact agreeing on an appropriate amount for attorneys' fees and costs.

Petitioner asserted she personally incurred $350.00 in out-of-pocket expenses. After respondent raised objections, petitioner amended her request for attorneys' fees and costs to $14,662.97, which respondent did not object to.

The court awarded $14,662.97 for attorneys' fees and costs, payable jointly to the petitioner and her attorneys, and $350.00 for petitioner's out-of-pocket expenses, payable to petitioner. Judgment was to be entered unless a motion for review was filed.
