New York Erbs Palsy Lawyers
Injuries to newborns during delivery are a serious concern among mothers expecting their baby to be born healthy. Every year, hundreds of thousands of healthy babies are born in the United States making plenty of families happy in welcoming an addition to the household. However, not every baby delivered in the United States is born healthy. According to the March of Dimes, approximately 120,000 babies experience difficult deliveries that result in birth injuries every year.
Erb's palsy is a birth injury resulting from shoulder dystocia that occurs during difficult deliveries. Shoulder dystocia is a birth complication involving loss of blood circulation in certain areas of the body due to excessive pulling on the head and trapping the baby's shoulder during a vertex or breech delivery. In Erb's palsy cases, the baby may not have function in certain limbs which were affected by the injury but with therapy may fully recover from the birth injury in time.

While not every case of Erb's palsy is attributed to medical negligence and malpractice, there are an alarming number of birth injuries every year in the United States that should be worth considering. When more than 120,000 newborns are afflicted with some sort of injury or defect, something should be done to reduce the rate at which newborns are being born with injuries. Whether it is faulty or aggressive use of medical tools and equipment during delivery, or sheer negligence on behalf of your medical provider, there is no excuse for putting your baby in harm's way.
Injuries associated with Erb's palsy include the following:
- Limb Paralysis
- Shoulder Injuries
- Motor Control Difficulties
- Numbness in Arm
- Facial Paralysis
