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

Erb's Palsy is caused by damage to the nerve system in the arm, shoulder and hand. This can cause paralysis, as well as other issues.

Medical negligence can cause this birth injury. The birth injury is usually linked to a difficult or premature delivery.

Causes

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

Erb's Palsy is a weakness of various degrees or paralysis in the shoulder or arms, affecting the brachial nerves. These nerves transmit electrical signals to muscles, allowing them to move. Injuries to the brachial nerve could result in a loss of ability to grasp and move the affected hand.

Erb's Palsy can be caused by a range of factors. Erb's syndrome can be caused by shoulder Dystocia, which is a condition that occurs when the baby's skull gets stuck over the mother's pubic bone. It is more common in women who have certain risk factors like gestational diabetes and babies that are too big or overweight. Shoulder dystocia is a medical emergency, and it is imperative that doctors are aware of this and be able to respond swiftly to avoid complications for the baby. It can also happen if you use forceps, vacuum extractors, or have an emergency Cesarean.

Symptoms

Erb's spalsy is identified by a lack in movement of the arm or hand affected and a weak grip. Symptoms typically manifest between six and twelve months after birth.

The brachialplexus is an intricate network of nerves which run from the spine down both sides of the neck, regulating sensation and movement in the arm, hand and fingers. If they become damaged, the nerves may cause weakness or partial paralysis of the affected hand and arm.

It is usually caused by medical mistakes during childbirth. For example the doctor pushing on the baby's shoulders too hard (shoulder dystocia). It could also result from a violent birth, especially if the infant is held in a 'waiter's tip position, which causes tension on the C5-C6 nerves in the upper trunk that are 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 surgical intervention to repair the nerves damaged. If the nerves affected are not repaired, the child could suffer an indefinite disability that affects their ability to move and use their arm.

Diagnosis

For children with Erb's Palsy there are a variety of treatments to reduce the impact, but the injury will never be fully healed. Certain infants suffer from a significant disability and are unable to move their arm, hand, or fingers.

The injury to the brachial-plexus, which is the nerve that innervates the upper limb muscles except the trapezius, creates symptoms. The injury usually affects the upper branches of nerves C5 or C6. Infrequently it may also affect C7. The result is the classic Erb's Palsy sign, which is a waiter tip-like hand that is unable to pronate nor stretch the forearm. In some instances, nerves are injured and cause Horner's disease, a drooping of the pupil and a chin that is constricted.

You may be able to claim medical negligence if your child suffers from Erb's Palsy due to the birth. This is because this condition is usually caused by the excessive force that is imposed on the baby during the birth process. This includes using vacuum extraction (ventouse) or forceps improperly. It can also include a doctor who is not managing shoulder dystocia correctly or deciding to do an breech or vaginal birth when an earlier caesarean section would have been more suitable.

Treatment

The brachialplexus' nerves regulate movement and sensation in the hands and arm. If a baby is identified as having Erb's palsy, it indicates that nerves are 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.

Treatment is focused on physical therapy which aims to improve the range of motion of the injured arm. Stretching and passive exercises can be used to accomplish this. A physiotherapist can also suggest an extension splint designed by a specialist to ease the movement and reduce stiffness. Surgical intervention is often required in cases of extreme severity to repair damaged nerves by the nerve graft.

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

Compensation

A successful lawsuit may be able to award families financial compensation in exchange for the treatment of their child. It may also give them the feeling of 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 cost of physiotherapy for your child as well as other treatments and equipment needed to support their condition. They also can compensate you for any loss of earnings or income due to your child's disability.
