1Fiscal
year statistics for
petitions/claims alleging
injuries or deaths resulting
from vaccines administered
on or after 10/1/1988.
2Generally,
petitions/claims are not
adjudicated in the same
fiscal year as filed. On
average, it takes 2-3 years
to adjudicate a
petition/claim after it is
filed.
3Compensated"
are claims that have been
paid as a result of a
settlement between parties
or a decision made by the
U.S. Court of Federal Claims
(Court). The # of awards is
the number of petitioner
awards paid, including the
attorneys' fees/costs
payments, if made during a
fiscal year. However,
petitioners' awards and
attorneys' fees/costs are
not necessarily paid in the
same fiscal year as when the
petitions/claims are
determined compensable.
"Dismissed" includes the the
# of payments to attorneys
and the total amount of
payments for attorneys'
fees/costs per fiscal year.
The VICP will pay attorneys'
fees/costs related to the
claim, whether or not the
petition/claim is awarded
compensation by the Court,
if certain minimal
requirements are met. "Total
Outlays" are the total
amount of funds expended for
compensation and attorneys'
fees/costs from the Vaccine
Injury Compensation Trust
Fund by fiscal year.
