Erb's Palsy and Cerebral Palsy
Erb's palsy and cerebral palsy are two of the most common birth injuries. When new parents learn their child has been born with one of these conditions, the most urgent question is often whether it could have been prevented — and whether a doctor's or nurse's error during delivery played a role.
Because medical malpractice and negligence during delivery can sometimes cause these injuries, parents of a child born with Erb's palsy or cerebral palsy deserve a professional medical malpractice evaluation. These cases are technically demanding, requiring the resources to secure qualified medical experts and build a case properly.
- Erb's palsy from shoulder dystocia during delivery
- Cerebral palsy from oxygen deprivation at birth
- Delayed emergency C-section decisions
- Improper use of delivery instruments
