Amanda Williams v. HHS - other (2015)

Amanda Williams filed a petition under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. On July 20, 2015, Chief Special Master Dorsey issued a decision awarding compensation based on a joint stipulation between the parties.

Subsequently, on November 3, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation for attorney fees and costs. The stipulation indicated that the respondent did not object to the requested amount and that Ms.

Williams incurred no personal litigation costs. Special Master Mindy Michaels Roth reviewed the stipulation and found that the petition was brought in good faith with a reasonable basis for the claim, making an award for attorney fees and costs appropriate under 42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-15(b) and (e)(1).

The proposed amount was deemed reasonable. An award of $19,500.00 was made, payable jointly to Amanda Williams and her attorney, Amber D.

Wilson, to cover all legal expenses. The clerk of the court was directed to enter judgment accordingly.

The public decision does not describe the specific vaccine(s) administered, the date(s) of vaccination, the alleged condition, or the clinical details of the case.
