Erb's Palsy Information

Erb's palsy is a paralysis of the arm that results from nerve damage to the brachial plexus nerves in the shoulder. This can be the result of a difficult birth wherein strain was put on the neck and shoulders of the infant. Unfortunately, often times this can be the result of medical negligence on the part of doctors and nurses who fail to recognize that strain is being put on the shoulder and do not alleviate that strain, permanently damaging the nerves. While some infants may recover mobility of their arm on their own, some may need major surgery to repair the nerves that were damaged, and in some cases, full mobility can never be regained. If your infant has Erb's palsy due to a birth injury that you believe was because of medical negligence, contact a West Virginia birth injury attorney today.

Mistakes and accidents during delivery account for many birth injuries that are sustained by infants today, and some of these injuries are life-threatening and can have long-reaching effects on the infant. Erb's palsy in some infants can heal on its own, but some infants will be afflicted with the condition for the rest of their lives, or require major surgery to repair the nerve damage.
