Erb's Palsy can be caused by birth injuries to the brachial-plexus. This is more common during vaginal births, but it can also occur during c-sections. The injury is often caused by doctors who have to move the baby's shoulders to facilitate the delivery. The process can stretch or tear the nerves in the armpit, leading to permanent damage.
In some instances the injury may be corrected with surgery, but it may still cause problems. Children with this type of injury may not be able to use their arms or raise their hands. This could impact their health, especially those who are unable play sports or do everyday tasks. Certain people might benefit from muscle transfers. In these, surgeons implant stronger tendons or muscles to help weaker ones.
Your lawyer will collect as much evidence as you can and forward it to the lawyers of the defendants. The defendants will then have 30 days to respond to your claim. The court will then set the date for your Erb’s Palsy trial.
