erb's palsy lawsuits Palsy is a result of damage to the nerve network in the arm, shoulder and hand. This can cause paralysis and other problems.

This birth injury can be the result of medical negligence. This birth injury is usually linked to a difficult or premature delivery.

Causes

In rare instances things can go wrong. If your child was born with a disability caused by medical negligence, for instance Erb's palsy, Hudgell Solicitors can help you seek compensation for the ongoing suffering.

Erb's palsy can be described as a weakness or paralysis of various degrees in the shoulder and arm affected by the brachial nerves. These nerves are responsible for sending electrical messages to the muscles to allow them move. Injury to the brachial plexus may result in the inability to grip and move the hand that is affected.

There are a number of causes of Erb's syndrome. It can be caused by shoulder dystocia, a complication of labour that occurs when the baby's head gets stuck above the mother's pubic bone. It can happen more frequently with certain risk factors such as gestational diabetes or an infant or baby who is too large. Shoulder dystocia is a medical emergency and it is imperative to recognize this and be able to react quickly to avoid complications for the baby. It can also be caused by the use of forceps or a vacuum extractor during labour or through an emergency Cesarean section.

Signs and symptoms

Symptoms of Erb's palsy include a lack of motion in the affected arm or hand and a weak grip strength. The symptoms usually manifest six to twelve months after birth.

The brachialplexus is an intricate network of nerves that runs from the spine along both sides of the neck, controlling movement and sensation in the arm, hand and fingers. These nerves, if damaged may cause weakness or partial paralysis of the affected arm or hand.

It's often caused by the medical error that occurs during childbirth, for example the doctor pulling too hard to free a baby's head (shoulder dystocia). It can be caused by a painful delivery when the infant is placed in a 'waiter's tips position, which puts tension on the C5-C6 nerves in the upper trunk which form part of the brachial plexus.

Most infants who suffer injuries to their limbs or legs will recover in six to 12 months. However there are cases that are so severe that they require surgery to repair the damaged nerves. If the damaged nerves are not repaired, the child could suffer an ongoing disability that impacts their ability to move and use their arm.

Diagnosis

There are a variety of treatment options for children with Erb’s Palsy, but the injury cannot be completely repaired. Some infants suffer from a significant disability, and are unable move their arm, hand or fingers.

The symptoms result from injury to the brachial plexus, which provides all the muscles of the upper limb, except for the trapezius. The injury is usually affecting the upper nerves C5 as well as C6 but less often affects C7. This can cause the Erb's Palsy sign, a waiter tip-like hand which is unable to pronate nor flex the forearm. In a few cases, nerves are injured and cause Horner's syndrome, a pupil that is drooping and a chin that is constricted.

It is possible to make an action for medical negligence during the birth that causes a child suffering from Erb's Palsy. This is because the condition is usually caused by excessive force being imposed on the baby during the birth process. This can be caused by using forceps or a ventouse (vacuum extraction) incorrectly. This can include a doctor who isn't able to treat shoulder dystocia properly or decides to give birth via a vaginal or breech birth when a caesarean section would be more appropriate.

Treatment

The nerves of the brachialplexus control movement and sensation in the hands and arms. When a baby is diagnosed with Erb's Palsy it means that nerves are injured. The majority of babies recover within 6 to 12 months, however some have a permanent disability that limits movement and sensation in their arm.

Treatment is focused on physical therapy that seeks to increase the range of motion in the injured arm. This can be accomplished in many ways, including stretching exercises, as well as passive exercises. A physiotherapist can also suggest an extension splint which will aid in movement and reduce stiffness. Surgery is sometimes required in severe cases to repair damaged nerves by a nerve graft.

A claim for compensation can help a child with an Erb's Palsy injury live their life to the fullest and access essential equipment, care, education and support. If you think that your child's condition was caused by an unintentional medical error during their birth, you may be eligible to file an Erb's Palsy claim for damages in the form of money.

Compensation
