Phoenix Erb’s Palsy Attorneys

Was Your Infant Seriously Injured?

Birth is an exciting, albeit stressful time in a family’s life that is supposed to lead to a beautiful new chapter with a new life. However, there are a number of serious complications that can occur during pregnancy and/or childbirth. One of the more dangerous types of birth injuries your doctor needs to take care to prevent is known as Erb’s palsy, a condition that affects the nerves in your infant’s shoulder, also called the brachial plexus. If the damage to the nerves is severe enough, it could leave that area of their body completely paralyzed. It’s estimated that condition affects two in every 1,000 infants born in the United States, and one of the main causes is negligence on the part of the doctor and medical staff.
