Kansas City Erb’s Palsy Attorney

Erb’s palsy is a medical condition characterized by temporary or sometimes permanent paralysis of the arm. While this condition can result from a variety of accidents, it is often the result of complications during the childbirth process. In some cases, these complications are simply the result of an unavoidably difficult pregnancy. However, mistakes on the part of medical practitioners during labor and delivery frequently contribute to the development of this condition.

Thus, we have dedicated our practice to helping these victims seek the justice they deserve. If your child now suffers from Erb’s palsy because of a medical professional’s mistakes, contact our offices today at (800) 900-7704 to learn more about your legal rights and options.

Medical Malpractice and Erb’s Palsy

There are a variety of inappropriate actions on the part of doctors or other medical professionals during childbirth that can result in a child developing Erb’s palsy, including the following:

  • The incorrect use of medical tools
  • Pulling too hard on the baby’s shoulders
  • Poorly timed delivery procedures
  • Improper handling of shoulder dystocia

These actions can damage the brachial plexus, or the group of nerves that control movement and sensation in the arm, subsequently resulting in Erb’s palsy.
