What Is Erb’s Palsy?

Erb’s palsy, also known as brachial plexus injury, can result in permanent nerve damage and severe pain. The brachial plexus is a group of nerves that helps send messages between your spinal cord and your arm, shoulder, and hand. When an obstetrician uses improper birthing techniques, the brachial plexus can stretch, twist, and tear — resulting in serious damage.

Many acts of negligence can contribute to Erb’s palsy, including the following.

The obstetrician fails to recognize that a child’s shoulder is stuck behind his or her mother’s public bone and continues to pull him or her out of the birth canal, resulting in serious damage.

The obstetrician used improper head maneuvers to pull the child from the birth canal, resulting in the nerves in the baby’s neck stretching and tearing.

The obstetrician fails to recognize that a child is much larger than the birth canal and fails to take appropriate precautions.

The child is in breech and the obstetrician pulls the child by the feet out of the birth canal, resulting in a dislocated shoulder and brachial plexus damage.

Your child may develop weakness in the arm and experience difficulty moving it, as well as a loss of feeling in the arm. While most children will regain movement and feeling after sustaining a brachial plexus injury, this condition can result in permanent paralysis.

Compensation for Erb’s Palsy Victims

If a medical professional’s negligence is responsible for your child’s injuries, you have the right to claim compensation from the at-fault party. A medical malpractice lawsuit allows you to collect funds for the physical, financial, and emotional related to your child’s Erb’s palsy and his or her necessary treatment.

Some of the most common types of compensation for Erb’s palsy victims include the following.

Physical therapy
Hospitalizations and surgeries
Routine doctor’s visits
Prescription medications
Transportation to and from medical appointments
Disability accommodations
All future medical expenses
Physical and emotional pain and suffering
