A child suffering from erb's syndrome can have devastating effects on families. If you believe that medical negligence led to your child's injury to his brachial cord at birth, you should contact an erb's Palsy law firm for a no-cost consultation.

An attorney will look over the case and calculate the value of the case by calculating future medical expenses. This will help establish the value of your claim for any settlement.

Causes

Erb's syndrome is caused by damage to a bundle of nerves near the neck (the brachial plexus). These nerves are responsible for shoulder, arm and hand movements as well as sensation. Erb's palsy causes weakness, numbness or paralysis of the shoulder and arm.

This condition is caused by a variety of medical mistakes during labor and delivery. These include the use of forceps, a premature C-section or the use of the vacuum extractor to deliver an infant vaginally. However, the majority of cases of erb's spalsy are preventable. Midwives, doctors, nurses and other medical professionals have the responsibility of maintaining the highest standards of medical care in the delivery room. They must ensure that the baby's shoulders are delivered via the vaginal canal and that they do not get stuck or become lodged in the mother's pelvic bone.

Some researchers suggest that Erb's palsy could be a result of contractions in the mother or the position of pregnant women. These theories haven't been proven. In order to win a case for medical malpractice, plaintiffs need to prove that the doctor's deviance from accepted practices caused their injury.

A birth injury lawyer can assist in the event that you believe your child suffered an injury that is preventable, like erb's paralysis. A successful lawsuit could be awarded to your family financially compensation to cover your child's medical expenses and provide you with a sense of closure.

Diagnosis

Erb's syndrome is caused by damage to the brachial nerve which is a network of nerves in the arm and shoulder. The nerves could be stretched or torn due to an uneasy delivery. Symptoms of this condition include weakness or paralysis in the affected arm. Doctors are responsible for diagnosing the condition as soon as is possible.

The most common reason is childbirth difficulties. It is usually caused when the fetus's size is higher than was expected for vaginal birth, or when the baby's shoulders get stuck during the delivery. This is called shoulder dystocia, and it is one of the major risk factors for Erb's Palsy.

If a doctor applies excessive force or fails to detect the shoulder dystocia, it can lead to injury of the upper nerves in the brachial plexus. Erb's palsy can result. The doctor could be held accountable for any harm caused by negligence.

You must establish that your injuries were caused by the doctor's departure from the accepted medical practice to win an action for medical malpractice. In the case where your child has Erb's Palsy it is essential to prove that the doctor was negligent or acted in a manner that caused injury to the Brachial Plexus nerves. This is a common claim that could result in a large settlement and life-long care for your child.

Treatment

In the majority of instances, it is best to diagnose and treat the condition as soon as possible. If not treated, the condition may lead to permanent tightening of muscles (contractures) and can lead to complete or partial paralysis. The most commonly used method of treatment is physical therapy, and sometimes surgery.

While doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals are trained to deliver babies safely, a number of complications can occur. A doctor must act swiftly to ensure the safety both of the baby and mother when complications arise. Unfortunately, some health professionals fail to do the right thing.

A doctor may need to use a certain amount force during a difficult delivery to aid the baby in the birth canal. While doing this it is possible that he or she will accidentally stretch the baby's neck which could cause damage to the nerves.

Doctors may employ a variety of tests, including Xrays and ultrasounds, as well as physical examination to determine the extent of the injury and the extent of the nerve damage. A doctor may prescribe medications to alleviate discomfort and pain and may also recommend occupational therapy or physical therapy to restore movement.
