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.

the authority of the United States Court of Federal Claims, which is responsible
for resolving claims for compensation under the VICP.
