Holding Doctors Accountable for Their Actions

Brachial plexus palsy (or Erb's Palsy) can occur when a baby's shoulder causes the baby to get stuck in the birth canal during delivery. Often, doctors could prevent the condition by recognizing signs of distress or complications. However, doctors rarely admit fault, suggesting, instead, there wasn't a way to know about the potential harm during the birth.

Our experience in birth injury cases often leads us to believe the doctors should have known about the harm and, thus, are to blame for your child's injury.

Common symptoms of a brachial plexus injury include:

• Arm paralysis
• Limited mobility in an arm
• Limp arm
• Partial facial or torso paralysis

Using All Our Resources to Your Benefit

When handling your case, we consult some of the top OB/GYNs and other physicians to obtain their opinion on the matter. We review medical reports, X-rays and other evidence that can suggest injury to your child. If a doctor's negligence did indeed result in injury to your child, we fight aggressively to obtain maximum compensation.
