What is Erb’s Palsy?
Our medical
malpractice lawyers have helped thousands of clients pursue justice and
compensation when their children were injured by the negligence or misconduct
of a medical professional.
One of the more common conditions our medical malpractice
lawyers see is Erb’s
Palsy.
The brachial plexus is the system of nerve bundles in your
upper arm. This network sends signals from your spine to your shoulders, arms
and hands.
Birth
injuries to the brachial plexus are sadly common, and Erb’s Palsy is a
frequently seen type of brachial plexus injury. It is a condition that results
in partial or complete paralysis of the arm.
Erb’s Palsy is usually (though not always) caused at birth,
and it’s often produced when the child is too large to be born naturally or is
stressfully pulled during labor. Erb’s Palsy is a serious, permanent condition,
and dealing with it is a lifetime matter.
The costs associated with Erb’s Palsy are substantial, and
the medical malpractice lawyers at The Cochran Firm have experience helping
parents recover compensation for these expenses.
If your child suffered Erb’s Palsy during childbirth and you
need an experienced medical malpractice lawyer, please contact The Cochran
Firm today for a free consultation.
