NEC Formula Claims Guide
How to file a necrotizing enterocolitis claim.
Confirm Premature Birth
Gather birth records showing gestational age. Infants born before 37 weeks are most affected by NEC. The more premature, the stronger the claim.
Document Formula Feeding
Obtain NICU records showing cow's milk-based formula was used (Similac or Enfamil). Feeding logs and nursing notes are key evidence.
Document NEC Diagnosis
Collect medical records confirming the NEC diagnosis. Stage of NEC (Bell's staging), imaging reports, and surgical records if applicable are important.
Calculate Damages
Document all NICU costs, surgeries, ongoing care, and if tragically applicable, funeral expenses. Long-term complications increase value.
Consult a NEC Attorney
Contact an attorney experienced in NEC formula litigation. MDL 3026 cases are complex. Many offer free consultations and work on contingency.
