If your child, unfortunately, suffered from necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), meeting specific eligibility requirements is necessary to file a claim. The following are the primary eligibility criteria for a NEC in newborns claim:
- Premature baby: a baby who was born at 37 weeks or earlier.
- Low birth weight: a baby who weighs 5.5 pounds (2.5 kilograms) or less at birth.
- Cow's milk-based formula feeding: a baby was fed with Enfamil or Similac formula in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
- Development of NEC after cow's milk-based formula feeding.
- Severe health impacts or death: a baby who either passed away or suffered from NEC-related life-threatening health complications.
Do you check off the listed criteria above? You may be eligible for compensation when you file NEC in a newborn claim. By carefully collecting your child's medical records, you can provide the necessary evidence that can strengthen your claim.
