Bringing a newborn baby home is the beginning of a wonderful new chapter in parents’ lives. But, it can also be frightening. You want to make sure that your child is safe and developing physically and mentally as he or she should be. When you detect difficulties related to your child’s ability to move his or her arm and a diagnosis of Erb’s palsy has been assigned to your child’s condition, you need to begin looking for answers to questions like:

  • How did this happen?
  • What can be done for my child?
  • How can I ensure that my child has the medical care he or she needs to be able to overcome?

What is Erb’s Palsy

Erb’s palsy occurs when the brachial plexus, a nerve connecting the spinal cord to the arm and shoulder, is injured during a delivery where a physician places excessive stress on the child’s head, arm or shoulder. The potential for Erb’s palsy and injury to the brachial plexus that could cause other injuries is well-known and doctors have an obligation to act appropriately to avoid causing injury during delivery.

When physicians fail to provide care that meets the appropriate standards of care and your child was injured as a result, our firm has the skills, resources, and experience to help you effectively pursue the compensation you and your child deserve.
