Parents also have the right to compensation for their child's diminished enjoyment of life. Erb's palsy can affect the quality of life of children, as well as the entire family. In many instances the disability can result in a substantial loss of future earnings.

In addition, children with Erb's palsy often require specialized equipment and assistive devices to aid them in getting around and live as independently as is possible.

If there is an award of compensation, if the lawsuit is successful, it may be awarded to cover medical expenses, hospital costs, lost wages and pain and discomfort.

The most frequent cause of Erb's Palsy is the forceful delivery, such as when there is a large or breech baby. This can stretch the neck and damage the brachial nerves of one or both arms. Doctors should be able to detect an extremely large infant or a breech position and in these instances we recommend a caesarean delivery to avoid injury during birth.

Other common causes of injuries to erb's palsy during birth include a physician not recognizing the need for a caesarean birth in a larger infant or a ruptured pregnancy, the inability to deliver a breech baby through a C-section or the use of force too much to remove the head during vaginal birth. A lot of these medical errors could have been avoided and parents of children suffering from Erb's psi should consider making a claim for compensation.

Medical Expenses

Infants who sustain an injury to their brachial plexus, which may cause Erb's psy, may experience discomfort, pain and loss of independence. In some cases, if an injury leads to ongoing physiotherapy or other rehabilitation requirements such as special equipment and home modifications, a claim for compensation is possible.

An OB/GYN could be held accountable for the costs incurred in a lawsuit involving Erb's palsy if malpractice or medical negligence was the direct reason for the birth injury. This could include failing to identify the condition at a timely time so that a Cesarean section could have been scheduled to prevent the problem or caused by the excessive force employed during labor and delivery. This is especially prevalent in breech delivery where doctors can put lots of pressure on the baby's shoulders and head during the delivery.

Injury to the brachial-plexus can cause Erb's psy. This can be severe and impact the child throughout their life. In some cases this may require long-term physiotherapy, occupational therapy and even surgery. It can be expensive and stressful for families. This is why obtaining an Erb's palsy settlement is crucial. The money can be used to cover the cost of treatment and enable families to concentrate on providing the best possible care for their child.

Newborns can develop Erb's palsy in the event that they are required to move too much during the birth process. This can happen during vaginal birth or C-section. It is also more common in breech deliveries, and when the baby's shoulders become stuck in the birth canal, resulting in shoulder dystocia.

In this case doctors may have to apply excessive force to remove the shoulders from the birth canal. This can cause strain or tear to the brachial plexus nerves which can cause Erb's palsy.
