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

Erb's paralysis is caused by damage to the network of nerves in the shoulder, arm and hand. This can lead to paralysis and other issues.

Medical negligence can result in this birth injury. The birth injury is usually related to a difficult or rushed birth.

Causes

Pregnancies and births generally are a breeze, however on the rare occasion things can go wrong. If your child was born with a disability caused by medical negligence, for instance Erb's palsy, Hudgell Solicitors can help you claim compensation for their ongoing suffering.

Erb's palsy is a condition that causes weakness or paralysis of various degrees in the shoulder and arm that affects the brachial plexus nerves. These nerves transmit electrical signals to muscles in order to enable them to move. Damage to the brachial tract could result in a loss of ability to grip and move the hand in the affected area.

There are a number of causes of Erb's palsy. It could be caused by shoulder dystocia, a complication of labour that occurs when the baby's skull gets stuck above the pubic bone of the mother's. It is more frequent in certain risk factors like gestational diabetes, and an infant or child who is large. Shoulder dystocia is an emergency medical condition. It is vital for doctors to be aware of this and know what to do to avoid complications. It can also be caused by the use of forceps or the use of a vacuum extractor during labor or by having an emergency Cesarean section.

Symptoms

Erb's spalsy is identified by a lack of movement of the hand or arm affected, as well as an inability to grip. Typically, the symptoms show within 6 to 12 months following birth.

The brachial plexus is a system of nerves which run from the spine down both sides of the neck, controlling motion and sensation in the hand, arm and fingers. If damaged, these nerves may cause weakness or partial paralysis of the affected arm or hand.

It is usually caused by medical mistakes during childbirth. For example the doctor pushing on the baby's shoulders too hard (shoulder dystocia). It can also be caused when the baby is placed in the 'waiter tip' position during birth and puts strain on the C5-C6 upper trunk nerve system, which is part of the Brachial Plexus.

The majority of infants who sustain injuries to their limbs recover within six to 12 months and are usually able to return home within six months, with the exception of cases that are severe enough to require surgical intervention with a nerve graft to restore the injured nerves. If the nerves that are damaged don't get repaired and rehabilitated, a child could suffer permanent disabilities that limit their ability to move their arm.

Diagnosis

There are a variety of treatments available for children with Erb’s Palsy, but the injury is not fully healed. Some children are left with a significant impairment and cannot move their hands, arms 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 results in symptoms. The injury typically affects the upper nerves C5 and C6 but less often affects C7. This results in the classic Erb's Palsy sign, a waiter's tip type hand that cannot pronate, or extend the forearm. In some cases, the nerves are injured and cause Horner's Syndrome, a drooping of the pupil and a constricted chin.

You may be able to claim medical negligence when your child is suffering from Erb's Palsy due to the birth. This is because this condition is often 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. It could also be the doctor not managing shoulder dystocia appropriately or deciding to perform an breech or vaginal birth when a more conventional caesarean delivery would have been more suitable.

Treatment

The nerves that comprise the brachial system control movement and feeling in the hand and arm. If the baby is diagnosed with Erb's Palsy, it means the nerves have been injured. Most babies recover in 6 to 12 months, however some have a long-term disability that limits movement and sensation in their arm.

The treatment is centered around physical therapy that aims to improve the range of motion of the injured arm. Stretching and passive exercises are a great way to achieve this. A physiotherapist may also recommend an extension splint that will help with movement and prevent stiffness. Surgical intervention is often required in cases of extreme severity to reconstruct damaged nerves through the use of a nerve graft.

A claim for compensation can help a child suffering from an Erb's Palsy injury live life to the fullest and access essential equipment, treatment, and support. If you believe that your child's condition is the result of an error in medical care at birth, you could be able to claim an Erb's Palsy claim for damages in the form of money.

Compensation

A successful lawsuit may be able to award families financial compensation in exchange for the treatment they received from their child. It could also give them the feeling of justice and bring attention to medical professionals who might have prevented a brachial or plexus injury.

Settlements for Erb's Palsy lawsuits will pay for physical therapy in addition to any other treatments or equipment required to support your child's condition. You could also be compensated for any lost income or earnings resulting from the disability of your child.
