Understanding Erb's Palsy & Possible Medical Errors
Erb’s palsy is a type of birth injury involving damage to the brachial plexus, the group of nerves that controls movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand. Depending on the extent of the nerve damage, a child may experience reduced strength, limited mobility, or, in more severe cases, paralysis.
Common factors that can contribute to Erb's palsy include:
- Excessive force was applied during delivery
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction
- Delayed response to birth complications
- Failure to perform a necessary cesarean section
Our attorneys have the background to evaluate your case, consult with medical experts, and help your family understand what happened at delivery. If you suspect an avoidable error caused your child's injury, we are ready to provide answers and pursue accountability when appropriate.
