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

Erb's spalsy is caused by damage to the nerve system in the shoulder, arm and hand. This can lead to paralysis and other problems.

Medical negligence can lead to this birth injury. This birth injury is usually due to a challenging or rushed delivery.

Causes

Pregnancies and births generally go smoothly, however on the rare occasion something goes wrong. If your child was born with a disability that was caused by medical negligence, like Erb's palsy, Hudgell Solicitors can help you seek compensation for their ongoing suffering.

Erb's palsy is a weakness or paralysis in varying degrees within the arm and shoulder that affects the brachial plexus nerves. These nerves are responsible for transmitting electrical messages to the muscles so that they can move. Injury to the brachial plexus may result in the inability to grip and move the hand that is affected.

There are several causes of Erb's palsy. Erb's Palsy can be caused by shoulder dystocia, which is a complication that occurs when the baby's skull is stuck above the mother’s pubic bone. This is more likely with certain risk factors like gestational diabetes, and an infant or child who is large. Shoulder dystocia is an emergency medical situation. It is important for doctors to recognize this and be aware of the best way to treat it to prevent complications. It can also be caused by the use of forceps or an extractor vacuum during labour or by having an emergency Cesarean section.

Symptoms

Symptoms of Erb's palsy are a lack of movement in the affected arm or hand and weak grip strength. Symptoms typically appear about six to twelve months following the birth.

The brachialplexus is a set of nerves that run from the spine and down both sides of the neck. They control movements and sensations in the arm, hand and fingers. If they become damaged, the nerves may cause weakness or partial paralysis in the affected hand and arm.

It is usually caused by medical errors during childbirth. For example the doctor pushing on the baby's shoulders too hard (shoulder dystocia). It could be caused by a traumatic birth when the baby is held in a 'waiter's point position, which puts strain on the C5-C6 nerves of the upper trunk which form part of the brachial plexus.

The majority of infants who sustain injuries to their limbs recover within six to twelve months however, there are some cases that are severe enough to require surgical intervention using a nerve graft to repair the nerves that have been injured. If the damaged nerves don't get repaired then a child could be left with an indefinite disability that limits their ability to move their arm.

Diagnosis

For children who suffer from Erb's Palsy there are a variety of treatments that can reduce the impact, but the injury is not able to be completely repaired. Some children are left with a significant disability and cannot move their arm, hand or fingers.

The symptoms are caused by an injury to the brachial plexus which is the main muscle of the upper limb, with the exception for the trapezius. The injury is usually to the upper trunks of nerves C5 or C6. Less frequently it may also affect C7. This results in the classical sign of Erb's palsy which is a waiter's tips type hand that cannot pronate, or extend the forearm. In some cases, the nerves are damaged and can result in Horner syndrome. It is evident by pupils that are drooping as well as a tightened face.

It is possible to file a claim for medical negligence during the birth process that results in the child being diagnosed with Erb's Palsy. This is because this condition is usually caused by the excessive force that is imposed on the baby during the birth process. This can include using forceps or a ventouse (vacuum extraction) incorrectly. It can also include a doctor not managing shoulder dystocia correctly or deciding to do an breech or vaginal birth when a caesarean section earlier would be more appropriate.

Treatment

The nerves of the brachialplexus regulate movement and sensation in the hands and arm. When a baby is diagnosed as having Erb's Palsy, it indicates that the nerves are injured. Most babies recover within 6 to 12 months however some suffer from permanent disabilities that limit the movement and sensation of their arm.

Physical therapy is used to improve range of motion. This can be done in various ways, including passive exercises and stretching. A physiotherapist may also recommend an extension splint to aid in movement and reduce stiffness. Surgical intervention may be necessary in the most severe cases to repair damaged nerves with the nerve graft.

A claim for compensation could help a child suffering from an Erb's Palsy injury live life to the fullest, and access essential equipment, care, education and support. If you think that your child's illness was caused by an error made by a doctor during their birth, you could be eligible to make an Erb's Palsy claim for damages in the form of money.

Compensation

A successful lawsuit may award families financial compensation to help pay for their child's treatment. It can also bring them the feeling of justice and make medical professionals aware of who could have prevented a brachial or plexus injury.

Erb's palsy lawsuit settlements can help cover the cost of physiotherapy treatments for your child as well as other equipment and treatments needed to help their condition. They also can compensate you for any loss of income or earnings due to the disability of your child.
