Erb’s Palsy Lawyers in Atlanta

Was Your Child’s Diagnosis the Result of Medical Negligence?

Erb’s palsy is a condition that results from an injury to the upperbrachial plexus nerves, a bundle of nerves located in the shoulder and neck. This can lead to weakness and reduced or lost movement in the affected arm, hand, and/or fingers. In infants, Erb’s palsy is often the result of a birth injury, such as when doctors stretch or tear the brachial plexus nerves during delivery. While some infants with birth palsy will heal within a relatively short period of time with proper treatment and rehabilitation, others will be affected for longer periods of time or even the remainder of their lives.

If your child was diagnosed with Erb’s palsy after a difficult birth, it is possible that he or she sustained a birth injury as a result of a medical provider’s negligence. We encourage you to reach out to our Atlanta Erb’s palsy lawyers as soon as possible to learn more about your legal options during a free, no-obligation consultation. Over the years, Goldstein Hayes & Lina, LLC has recovered more than $400 million for injured individuals and their families. We are ready to provide the aggressive representation and caring, compassionate legal support you need.

Causes & Symptoms of Erb’s Palsy

Erb's palsy is caused by an injury to the brachial plexus nerve at birth and is usually immediately apparent. This nerve is located near the neck and controls motion and feeling of the hand, arm, and fingers. Erb's palsy can be caused by excessive pressure on the head and neck during birth or by pulling on the shoulders as the baby exits the birth canal.

Some of the symptoms of Erb’s palsy include:

  • Weakness in the affected arm, hand, or fingers
  • Loss of feeling in the affected area
  • Impaired movement
  • Partial or complete paralysis of one arm

Gentle massaging and a range of motion therapy exercises can help heal a mild case of Erb's palsy, while surgery or tendon transplant can be used to treat more severe cases.
