ERB’S PALSY LEGAL CLAIMS REVIEWED NATIONWIDE
Erb’s Palsy (also known as a brachial plexus injury or shoulder paralysis, is a birth injury suffered when the baby’s shoulder becomes stuck on the mother’s pelvic bone during delivery. As a result, the child may suffer permanent nerve damage, which severely limits the use of their arm through their life.
In many cases, Erb’s Palsy can be prevented with the exercise or reasonable medical care. If a medical provider fails to recognize the signs of a problem and take prompt actions to minimize the risk of an injury, the child could be left with a life-long brachial plexus injury.

Trauma to a baby’s shoulder at the time of birth which results in Erb’s Palsy or a brachial plexus nerve injury, is known as shoulder dystocia.
Damage from pressure on the brachial plexus nerve during birth may result in an injury that heals within a matter of a few months, or it could leave the child with permanent Erb’s Palsy nerve damage.
Some children are left with no use of the impacted arm for the remainder of their lives. In severe cases of shoulder nerve damage, families may face a lifetime of medical expenses to treat Erb’s Palsy.
