The case is currently pending. The petitioner's former counsel filed a motion for an interim award of attorney's fees and costs totaling $16,418.94, due to counsel's withdrawal from the case. The respondent acknowledged that the decision on interim fees was at the Special Master's discretion. The Special Master found that the petitioner had made a sufficient showing of reasonable basis to justify an interim award, noting that the claim was not often seen in the program and that an interim award was appropriate due to counsel's withdrawal. The requested fees and costs were calculated based on the lodestar method and reasonable costs incurred. The Special Master granted the motion, awarding $16,418.94 in interim attorney's fees and costs to be paid to the former counsel's IOLTA account.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":null,"petitioner_identifier_original":null,"caption_petitioner_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_name":null,"petitioner_attorney_firm":null,"petitioner_attorney_location":null,"adjudicator_name":null,"caption_people_backfilled_at":null,"attorney_canonical_keys":null,"firm_canonical_key":null,"date_of_birth":null,"vaccine_type_canonical":"Influenza","condition_category_specifics":null,"fees_and_costs_usd":null,"attorney_unavailable_reason":"not_in_source","is_fees_only":null,"decision_type":"unclear","decision_type_source":"manual","package_title":"ZAGWOLSKY v.
