Mallinckrodt Opioid Personal Injury Trust

A NAS (neonatal abstinence syndrome) PI Opioid Claim is an opioid claim, including present or future claim, held by any natural person who has been diagnosed by a licensed medical provider with a medical, physical, cognitive or emotional condition resulting from such natural person’s intrauterine exposure to opioids or opioid replacement or treatment medication, including but not limited to the condition known as neonatal abstinence syndrome, and does not include any NAS Monitoring Opioid Claims.  The NAS PI Claim must be submitted within three (3) years from the Effective Date, or by June 15, 2025.

You can file a NAS PI Claim if you have a diagnosis by a licensed medical provider of a medical, physical, cognitive, or emotional condition (damages) resulting from intrauterine exposure to either:

1. Opioids; or
2. Opioid replacement/treatment medication

If you are the parent, guardian or legal representative of a child who has been diagnosed as described above, then you can file a claim on their behalf.  You will be required to provide documentation of your authority to act on behalf of the child/minor claimant.
