A child who has erb's paralysis can have devastating effects on families. If you think that medical negligence caused the brachial injury of your child at birth, you should contact an erb's Palsy law firm for a free consultation.

An attorney will look over your case and calculate future medical costs to determine your estimated value for your case. This will help you determine the value of your claim and potential settlement.

Causes

Erb's Palsy is caused by damage to a bundle of nerves near the neck (the brachial plexus). These nerves are responsible for shoulder, arm and hand movement and sensation. People suffering from the condition experience weakness, numbness, or paralysis in one arm or shoulder.

This condition is caused by a variety of medical errors made during labor and delivery. These include the use of forceps, a premature C-section, or a doctor using an extractor vacuum to deliver an infant vaginally. The majority of cases of Erb's palsy can be avoided. Doctors, nurses, midwives and other medical professionals have the obligation to maintain a high standard of care in the delivery room. They must ensure that the shoulders of the baby are delivered through vaginal canal, and they do not get stuck or become lodged in the mother's pelvic bones.

Some researchers suggest that Erb's Palsy may be due to contractions in the mother or the position of a pregnant woman. These theories haven't yet been proved. In order to win a case for medical malpractice, plaintiffs have to prove that the doctor's omission from accepted practice caused the injury.

A birth injury lawyer can help you if you suspect that your child has suffered from an injury that could have been prevented, such as erb's paralysis. A successful lawsuit could award your family the financial compensation your child needs for medical expenses and give you closure.

Diagnosis

Erb's Palsy can be caused by injuries to the brachialplexus which is a triad of nerves in the shoulder and arm. These nerves may be stretched or torn due to a difficult delivery. This can lead to weakness or paralysis of the affected arm. Doctors are responsible for diagnosing the condition as fast as is feasible.

The most frequent reason is childbirth difficulties. This is typically the case when the size of the fetus is higher than expected for vaginal delivery or when the baby's shoulders get stuck during birth. This is known as shoulder dystocia. It is an important risk factor for Erb's palsy.

If a doctor makes use of excessive force or fails to recognize the shoulder dystocia, it can result in injury to the upper nerves of the brachial plexus. This can lead to Erb's paralysis. The doctor is liable for any damage caused by negligence.

You must demonstrate that your injuries were resulted from the doctor's deviation from accepted medical practice to win an action for medical negligence. If your child has Erb's Palsy, it is necessary to show that the doctor was negligent or acted in a manner that caused the injury to the Brachial Plexus nerves. This is a very common claim that could result in a significant amount of money and lifelong care for your child.

Treatment

In most instances, it is best to identify and treat the problem immediately. If left untreated the condition can progress to permanent tightening of muscles (contractures) or even complete or partial paralysis. Physical therapy and sometimes surgery are the most popular treatments.

Despite the fact that nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals are trained to deliver babies in a safe way, complications can occur. A physician must act quickly to ensure the safety both of the baby and mother in the event of complications. Unfortunately certain health professionals do not do this.

A physician may have to apply a certain amount of force during a difficult delivery to help the baby through the birth canal. This could cause the baby's nerves to be damaged in the event that the neck is accidentally stretched.

In addition to a physical examination doctors may also conduct various tests, such as X-rays or ultrasounds to determine the severity of an injury and the extent to which a nerve has been damaged. A doctor may prescribe medications to alleviate discomfort and pain as well as physical therapy or occupational therapy to restore mobility.

Compensation

The cost of treatment for a child who suffers with Erb's 'Palsy' can be very high. A successful lawsuit may help families to pay for the treatment they require. An experienced Erb's palsy lawyer will work to maximize the amount of compensation that a family will receive.

If a baby is diagnosed with Erb's Palsy, it can impact every aspect of their lives. It can hinder them from working and reduce the time they spend with their parents. It can also cause emotional distress.

Erb's Law claims can be made to cover the costs of treatment, loss of earnings, and also the impact that the injury can have on a child's daily activities. The compensation will also reflect the pain and suffering that the injury has caused.

A successful claim will show that the obstetrician was negligent. This will be demonstrated by demonstrating that there was an infraction to the accepted procedure and that the deviation resulted in injury to your child. Every case is unique, and it may take a long time to win an Erb's palsy lawsuit. It is essential to contact a lawyer sooner rather than later to ensure that they don't have to miss the deadline for filing the lawsuit.
