Hudgell Solicitors Can Help You Make an Erb's Palsy Claim

Erb's Palsy is caused due to damage to the nerve network in the shoulder, arm and hand. This can result in paralysis, as well as other problems.

Medical negligence could cause this birth injury. It is often linked to the birth process being rushed or difficult in particular when the baby's shoulders get stuck during labour.

Causes

On rare occasions things can occur that go wrong. If your child was born with a disability caused by medical negligence, like 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 arm and shoulder and affecting the brachial nerves. These nerves are responsible for sending electrical signals to muscles to allow them move. Injuries to the brachial nerve can cause an inability to grip and move the hand that is affected.

There are a number of causes of Erb's syndrome. Erb's Palsy can be caused by shoulder dystocia which is a complication that occurs when the baby's skull becomes stuck above the mother’s pubic bone. It is more prevalent in women with certain risk factors like gestational diabetics and large babies or infants. Shoulder dystocia is a medical emergency. It is essential for doctors to recognize this and know what to do to avoid complications. It can also be caused when you use forceps, vacuum extractors, or have an emergency Cesarean.

Symptoms

Symptoms of Erb's palsy include a lack of motion in the affected hand or arm and weak grip strength. Usually, the symptoms appear between six and 12 months following birth.

The brachialplexus is a nerve network which runs from the spine to both sides of the neck. It controls the movement and sensation of the arm, fingers, and hand. If damaged, these nerves, can cause weakness or partial paralysis of the affected arm and/or hand.

It is usually caused by medical mistakes during childbirth. For instance a doctor pressing on the baby's shoulder too hard (shoulder dystocia). It can also occur when the baby is placed in the 'waiter tip' position during the delivery which places strain on the C5-C6 nerve system, which forms part of the Brachial Plexus.

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

Diagnosis

For children who suffer from Erb's Palsy there are a number of treatments to lessen the effects, but the damage can never be fully repaired. A few infants suffer from significant disability, and are unable move their arm, hand, or fingers.

The injury to the brachial plexus, which is responsible for the innervation of the upper limb muscles, with the exception of the trapezius can cause symptoms. The injury usually affects the upper nerves C5 and C6 and less frequently affects C7. This causes the classic Erb's palsy sign, a hand that resembles a waiter's tip, unable to pronate nor extend the forearm. In some instances, nerves damaged may also result in Horner syndrome. It is manifested by the pupil drooping and a constricted face.

It is possible to bring a claim for medical negligence in the birth of the child being diagnosed with Erb's Palsy. This is because this condition is usually caused by excessive force being imposed on the baby during the birth process. This can result from using forceps or ventouse (vacuum extraction) in a way that is not correct. This could include a physician who does not control shoulder dystocia correctly, or decides to perform an breech or vaginal birth when a caesarean would be more suitable.

Treatment

The brachialplexus nerves control sensation and movement in the hands and arm. If a baby is identified with Erb's Palsy it means that the nerves have been injured. The majority of babies recover within 6 to 12 months, but some suffer from a permanent disability which affects their movement and the sensation in their arm.

Physical therapy can be used to improve the range of motion. This can be done in different ways, such as passive exercises and stretching. A physiotherapist may also recommend an extension splint which will aid in movement and avoid stiffness. Surgical intervention may be required in extreme cases to repair damaged nerves using the use of a nerve graft.

A compensation claim can help a child suffering from Erb's Palsy live life to the maximum, and gain access to the essential equipment, education, and care. If you believe that your child's Palsy was caused by an error in medical care during their birth, then you could be eligible to file a claim for financial damages.

Compensation

A successful lawsuit could give families financial compensation for the treatment of their child. It can also give them an appreciation for justice and draw attention to medical professionals that could have prevented a brachial-plexus injury.

Settlements from the Erb's Palsy lawsuits can help cover the costs of physiotherapy sessions for your child in addition to other equipment and treatments to help their condition. They also offer compensation for any loss of earnings or income due to the disability of your child.

You should contact an Erb's Paralysis lawyer immediately if you suspect that medical negligence is involved. They can provide you with suggestions on how to proceed and make sure that all paperwork is filed in time. This increases your chances of obtaining compensation.
