Most important: READ YOUR POLICY!!!!!!!! Most policys prorate based on the severity of the dismemberment; i.e. If you policy is for 100,000 and you lost a finger, you may get 250.00 (or 2500.00 for a thumb), but you would only get the whole 100,000.00 for loss of either both arms, or both legs. The bad thing is, after the policy pays, it usually cancels. In other words, if you pay 20 dollars a month for 10 years and end up getting paid for the loss of a finger (250.00) the policy is now void. So again: READ YOUR POLICY!!!!!

As a licensed insurance agent, I would say that in most cases this would be covered under suffocation, provided the infant has his/her own policy or is included on the parents existing policy under a family plan or a primary/child policy. Of course with all policy's you should check the fine print to make sure.

If the insured had a life policy with an Accidental Death and Dismemberment rider and the insured either died in an accident as indicated by the medical examiners report and the death certificate, or was dismembered as covered according to the definition of the policy, than yes, there is recourse. An insurance policy is a contract and therefor legally binding. But you do not have any recourse if the incident is not covered as described in the policy.
