When Your Back Is Against The Wall

Erb’s Palsy Lawyers in North Carolina

When Medical Negligence Leads to Serious Birth Injuries

Erb’s palsy results from certain brachial plexus injuries, which affect the nerves near the neck. This bundle of nerves is responsible for arm, shoulder, and hand movement and feeling. Therefore, individuals who suffer from Erb’s palsy typically experience weakness, numbness, or inability to use one arm. This may affect the entire arm and shoulder, or it may affect only the hand and fingers, only the arm and not the hand, just the shoulder, etc.

Erb’s palsy commonly occurs when an infant’s head and/or neck is stretched too far to one side during birth. This can occur during an unassisted birth or when forceps or a vacuum extractor is used. If you believe that a birth injury led to your child’s disability, reach out to the North Carolina Erb’s palsy lawyers at Lanier Law Group, P.A. With decades of experience standing up for injured victims and their families, our team is prepared to fight tirelessly for the justice and recovery your family deserves.

Types & Causes of Erb’s Palsy

Erb’s palsy is categorized according to severity. The more severe the initial injury, the more severe the symptoms, effects, and implications for the victim. That said, with proper treatment and care, most children are able to regain most movement and sensation in the affected shoulder, arm, and/or hand. In very severe cases, the child may not make a full recovery, though some recovery can typically be expected.
