Erb's Palsy Lawyers in New Jersey
What Is Erb's Palsy?
Erb's palsy is a form of paralysis of the arm that usually takes place
at birth. This occurs in the upper group of the arm's main nerves,
which severs the upper trunk nerves. It is a type of brachial plexus palsy
that causes damage to the nerves of the arm that provides the movement
and feeling to the hand, arm, and fingers. This is a problem that is caused
when the child's neck is stretched to the side in the course of the
delivery process. If your child has suffered from Erb's palsy during
birth because of medical malpractice, you can speak with a New Jersey
personal injury lawyer at our firm.
During a difficult delivery, the medical physicians must take every necessary
step to ensure that the child is born without any unnecessary problems
or complications. If your child is the victim of
medical malpractice that has led to the
birth injury of Erb's palsy, it is important to first care for your child and then
take legal action to recover damages. If you feel that the physician could
have done more to prevent this affliction, you can obtain a free case
evaluation from our firm to discuss your situation. The obstetrician in
charge of the delivery of your newborn should have done everything possible
to prevent this affliction from occurring. There have been many situations
in which this could have been prevented with reasonable medical care.
You may be able to obtain compensation if the medical provider had failed
to recognize the signs associated with this problem. It is important for
each physician to take action to minimize the risk of injuries during
birth. Prompt actions should have been taken if it is presumed that the
child may be born in a dangerous position. At
Brandon J. Broderick, Attorney at Law, we can handle your case by investigating the potential claim or lawsuit
on your behalf. We can review the circumstances surrounding the birth
and evaluate whether the child is entitled to compensation.
Filing a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
At our firm, we are consistently fighting for the rights of our clients.
If your newborn has suffered Erb's palsy and you have reason to believe
that it could have been presented with a reasonable amount of care, you
can take legal action by speaking with our firm. Young children with Erb's
palsy may face months of treatment and surgical care. In the most severe
circumstances, it can be a permanent disorder and prevent the proper movement
and feeling to the individual's arm for the remainder of their life.
During a difficult birth, the baby's shoulder can get stuck on the
mother's pelvic bone when:
- The baby is too large
- During a prolonged labor
- During a breech presentation
The improper use of forceps, a vacuum, or force, can result in an increased
chance of serious injuries occurring to the child. When it comes to a
difficult delivery, doctors can use different procedures to dislodge the
baby's shoulder to allow a safe passage through the birthing canal.
If the doctors have failed to take the necessary precautions to avoid
an Erb's palsy injury, you may have cause for a medical malpractice
case. We can help you fight for your rights to compensation if your child
has suffered from medical malpractice.
