Erb’s Palsy

As a parent, there are few things in life more alarming than learning that your newborn baby has been injured during the delivery process. One of the more common delivery injuries diagnosed in newborn children is Erb’s Palsy.

What is Erb’s Palsy?

Erb’s Palsy is a paralysis of the arm and/or shoulder area that is caused by damage to a group of nerves in the spinal cord known as the “Brachial Plexus.” Erb’s Palsy can leave the victim’s arm partially or completely paralyzed and may inhibit the physical development of the victim in the future. Luckily, Erb’s Palsy can be treated with physical therapy and, in the more serious cases, with surgical procedures such as nerve transplants.

Overwhelmingly, the most common cause of Erb’s Palsy is an abnormal childbirth or delivery process. When Erb’s Palsy is observed following childbirth, it is often due to the fact that the arms and/or head of the child were in a compromising position during delivery. Yet Erb’s Palsy is not limited to delivery room situations – it is possible to detect the symptoms of Erb’s Palsy at any age following a traumatic impact (such as a fall) that injures the spinal cord nerves in the same fashion as an abnormal childbirth.

What Should I do If My Child Has Been Diagnosed with Erb’s Palsy?

If you or your child has been diagnosed with Erb’s Palsy, the first step is seeking proper medical treatment and developing a treatment plan for the future. Next, it is often in the victim or the victim’s parent’s best interests to seek compensation through a Massachusetts Erb’s Palsy Lawsuit against all liable parties. Erb’s Palsy cases can be very complex given that they frequently involve filing a medical malpractice claim and may require expert testimony. Thus, choosing an experienced law firm is and important and imperative step when seeking compensation for you or your loved one’s injuries.
