Diagnosis

Erb's palsy results from an injury to the brachial system which is a nerve network in the arm and shoulder. These nerves can get stretched or torn during a challenging delivery.

If a physician uses excessive force or fails in recognizing the shoulder dystocia, it can cause injury to upper nerves of the brachial plexus. This can lead to Erb's paralysis. If the doctor's negligence is the cause and acted in a negligent manner, they could be held accountable for any damage that may be permanent.
