Erb's Palsy Malpractice

A family is typically flooded with emotions after the birth of their child, whether it be their first or their fifth, it is a moment in time that will forever be ingrained in their minds. Which is why it is heart wrenching for a mother and father to be informed that their newborn infant has suffered from labor complications.

If a child is born breech or vertex and their neck and shoulders are injured from excessive pulling by a physician during delivery, they may suffer from what is known as Erb’s Palsy. Erb’s Palsy is a form of arm paralysis in which several or all of the five primary nerves controlling movement and sensitivity to touch in the arm are damaged. Many cases of Erb’s Palsy tend to clear on there own over time, but the medical bills and emotional or mental stress may be reason enough for developing a medical malpractice case for injuries inflicted. However, finding the right law firm can be a challenge for a family who is unaware of the legalities involved as well as feeling overwhelmed by the vast array of lawyers available.

The first step to choosing a medical malpractice lawyer is to locate a law firm with previous experience in birth injury litigation. These individuals will be able to provide the most insightful legal consultation regarding the development of a medical malpractice lawsuit. Additionally, choosing a law firm with previous experience and a specialty in specific birth injuries, including Erb’s Palsy, Cerebral Palsy, Bell’s Palsy and Klumpke paralysis — all of which are highly associated with labor complications, is extremely important to maximize the compensatory damages that may be available to a victim and family.

Additionally, individuals should know their rights as well as have knowledge of what is and is not covered under a medical malpractice suit. Medical malpractice, according to U.S. law is “an act or omission by a health care provider, which deviates from accepted standards of practice in the medical community and which causes injury to the patient.” An infant that is injured because of negligence by a physician, who inadvertently causes nerve damage, will likely qualify for a lawsuit under a medical malpractice lawsuit. Seek out an attorney who provides free consultation on an Erb’s Palsy case. Choosing a lawyer with extensive experience in medical malpractice and OBGYN lawsuits. This will be important during the development of an Erb’s Palsy case.
