Cleveland Brachial Plexus Birth Injury Lawyer · Ohio Erb's Palsy Attorney
Brachial plexus injuries occur during birth when the bundle of nerves in the neck is damaged because of complications in the womb or birth canal. Injuries to the brachial plexus often results in a condition commonly referred to as Erb's palsy, which results in paralysis of the arm or difficulty with motor control of the arms and numbness of one or both arms. Often, Erb's palsy cannot be diagnosed until the baby is several weeks or months old, when a parent begins to notice a general limpness or immobility in the arm.
Brachial plexus injuries can result in the birth canal, during delivery, when the shoulder and head are pushed together, often referred to as shoulder dystocia, and the doctor does not take immediate measures to relieve the impaction. Another cause includes improper use of forceps to extricate the baby from the birth canal.
