Stephen Langlois v. HHS - other (2014)

Stephen Langlois filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program on January 17, 2014. The case proceeded based on a joint stipulation between the petitioner and the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

On September 27, 2013, a decision was issued awarding compensation. Subsequently, on January 7, 2014, the petitioner filed a motion for attorney fees and costs.

The parties then filed a stipulation for attorney fees and costs on January 17, 2014, agreeing to an amended amount. The Chief Special Master found that the petition was brought in good faith with a reasonable basis, making an award for fees and costs appropriate.

The total award for attorney fees and costs was $10,460.63, comprising $10,110.63 for attorney fees and costs payable jointly to the petitioner and his counsel, and $350.00 for the petitioner's personal litigation costs. Judgment was entered in accordance with this decision.
