erb's palsy lawyers Palsy is a result of an injury to the nerve system in the shoulder, arm and hand. This can cause paralysis and other problems.

Pregnancies and births usually go smoothly, however on the rare occasion something can go wrong. If your child was born with a disability caused by medical negligence, like Erb's palsy, Hudgell Solicitors can help you obtain compensation for their ongoing suffering.

Erb's Palsy is a condition that can be varying in severity or even paralysis in the shoulder or arms, which affects the brachial nerves. These nerves send electrical messages to muscles, which allow them to move. Damage to the brachial tract may result in the inability to grip and move the hand affected.

There are a variety of causes of Erb's Palsy. It could be caused by shoulder dystocia as a result of labour that occurs when the baby's head gets stuck above the mother's pubic bone. This can be more common when there are certain risk factors, including gestational diabetes and an infant or baby who is too large. Shoulder dystocia is a medical emergency, and it is important that doctors recognise this and know how to respond quickly to prevent complications for the baby. It can also be caused by the use of forceps or an extractor vacuum during labour or through an emergency Cesarean section.

Signs and symptoms

Erb's symptoms include a lack of motion in the affected arm or hand and weak grip strength. Symptoms usually appear about six to twelve months following the birth.

The brachialplexus is a set of nerves that run from the spine and down both sides of the neck. They control movement and sensation in the arm, hand and fingers. If they become damaged, the nerves may cause weakness or partial paralysis of the affected arm and hand.

It is often the result of medical mistakes during childbirth. For example a doctor pressing on the baby's shoulder too much (shoulder dystocia). It can also occur when the baby is placed in the 'waiter' tip position during the delivery and puts strain on the upper trunk C5-C6 nervous system, which is part of the Brachial Plexus.

Most infants who sustain an injury to their stretch will recover within six to 12 months, with the exception of cases that are severe enough to require surgery with a nerve graft in order to fix the damaged nerves. If the nerves affected do not get repaired the child may suffer permanent impairment that hinders their ability to move their arm.

Diagnosis

For children suffering from Erb's Palsy there are a variety of treatments to reduce the effects but the injury can never be fully repaired. A few infants suffer from significant disability and are unable move their arms, hands or fingers.

Infrequently, it can also affect C7. This causes the classic Erb's-Palsy sign, a waiter tip-like hand that is unable to pronate nor extend the forearm. In some instances, nerves that are damaged can cause Horner syndrome. The symptoms include an elongated pupil and constricted face.

You can claim medical negligence when your child is suffering from Erb's Palsy due to the birth. This is because the condition is often caused by excessive force being applied to the baby during birth. This could include using forceps or ventouse (vacuum extraction) in a way that is not correct. It could also involve doctors not managing shoulder dystocia correctly or deciding to give birth via vaginal birth or breech when a caesarean section earlier would be more appropriate.

Treatment

The nerves of the brachialplexus control movement and sensation in the arm and hands. When a baby is diagnosed as having the condition Erb's - it indicates that the nerves have been injured. The majority of babies recover within 6 to 12 months, but some have a long-term disability that affects movement and sensation in their arm.

The treatment is centered around physical therapy, which is designed to increase the range of motion in the injured arm. Stretching and exercises for passive exercise are a great way to achieve this. A physiotherapist can also suggest an extension splint that is specifically designed to ease movement and help prevent stiffness. Surgery may be required in extreme cases to repair damaged nerves by the nerve graft.

A claim for compensation could help a child suffering from an Erb's Palsy injury live life to the fullest extent and access essential equipment, education, and support. If you believe that your child's Palsy was the result of an error in medical treatment during their birth, you could be able to file a claim for financial damages.

Compensation

A successful lawsuit may provide families with financial compensation for the care they have given their child. It may also provide them with the feeling of justice and draw attention to medical professionals who might have prevented a brachial or plexus injury.
