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

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

This birth injury can be the result of medical negligence. It is often linked to a challenging or rushed delivery, especially when the baby's shoulder gets stuck during labour.

Causes

Pregnancies and births usually are normal, but, on rare occasions something could go wrong. If your child was born with a disability caused by medical negligence, such as Erb's palsy, Hudgell Solicitors can help you seek compensation for their ongoing suffering.

Erb's palsy is a condition that causes weakness or paralysis that is varying in the arm and shoulder affected by the brachial nerves. These nerves transmit electrical signals to muscles, allowing them to move. Injuries to the brachial nerve can cause an inability to grasp and move the affected hand.

There are a variety of causes of Erb's palsy. It is often caused by shoulder dystocia, a complication of labour that happens when the baby's skull gets stuck above the pubic bone of the mother's. It is more frequent in certain risk factors including gestational diabetes and a large infant or baby. Shoulder dystocia is a medical emergency and it is crucial that doctors are aware of this and know how to respond quickly to prevent complications for the baby. It can also be caused by the use of forceps or a vacuum extractor during labour or by having an emergency Cesarean section.

Signs and symptoms

Symptoms of Erb's palsy are a lack of movement in the affected arm or hand and a weak grip strength. Typically, the symptoms begin to manifest within six to 12 months after the birth.

The brachialplexus is the name of a nerve system that runs from the spine to both sides of the neck. It regulates movement and sensation of the fingers, arm and hand. If they become damaged, the nerves can cause weakness or partial paralysis in the affected hand and arm.

It's typically caused by an error made by a doctor during childbirth, such as a doctor pulling too hard to free the baby's head (shoulder dystocia). It can also occur when the baby is placed in the 'waiter tip' position during the delivery, which puts strain on the C5-C6 nerve system that forms part of the Brachial Plexus.

The majority of infants who suffer from a stretch injury will recover within six to 12 months. However, some cases are so severe that they require surgery to repair the nerves damaged. If the nerves damaged are not repaired, then children may suffer from an ongoing disability that impacts their ability to move and use their arm.

Diagnosis

For children who suffer from Erb's Palsy there are a variety of treatments to reduce the effects, but the damage is not able to be completely repaired. Some infants suffer from a significant disability and are unable move their arms, hands or fingers.

The damage to the brachial-plexus which innervates the upper leg muscles, excluding the trapezius, causes symptoms. The injury typically affects the upper nerves C5 as well as C6 and less frequently affects C7. This results in the classical sign of Erb's palsy which is a type of waiter's hand which cannot pronate or stretch the forearm. In some instances, nerves are injured and cause Horner's disease, a pupil that is drooping and a constricted chin.

It is possible to make an action for medical negligence at the time of a birth that leads to a child suffering with Erb's Palsy. This is because the condition is typically caused when excessive force is applied to the baby during delivery. This can include using vacuum extraction (ventouse) or forceps that are not used correctly. It can also mean doctors not managing shoulder dystocia appropriately or deciding to do an breech or vaginal birth when a more conventional caesarean delivery would have been more suitable.

Treatment

The nerves that form the brachial plexus control movements and sensations in the hand and arm. When a baby is diagnosed as having Erb's Palsy, it indicates that the nerves are injured. Most babies recover in 6 to 12 months, however some suffer from a permanent disability affecting movement and sensation in their arm.

Treatment is focused on physical therapy, which is designed to improve the range of motion in the injured arm. This can be accomplished in different ways, such as stretching exercises, as well as passive exercises. A physiotherapist may also suggest an extension splint specifically designed to ease flexibility and prevent stiffness. In the case of severe cases, a nerve transplant might be required to rebuild damaged nerves.

A claim for compensation may help a child with an Erb's Palsy injury live their life to the fullest, and access essential equipment, treatment, and support. If you suspect that your child's illness was caused by a medical mistake during their birth, you might be able to file an Erb's Palsy claim for damages in the form of money.

Compensation

A successful lawsuit could give families financial compensation for the treatment they received from their child. It could also provide them with a a sense justice and bring attention to medical professionals who could have prevented a brachial-plexus injury.
