amount of money paid out by vaccine courts
The U.S. Court of Federal Claims (aka the vaccine court) paid out $2,569,336,538.59 for compensable claims and $104,202,681.85 for attorneysâ fees representing those claims. The court paid another round of attorneysâ fees for dismissed claims totaling $56,375,431.34, plus $15,190,454.29 for interim attorneysâ fees. Judging by attorneysâ fees paid out, it looks like attorneys do pretty well, instead of injured claimants, i.e., those the court decides to dismiss.
