Michigan Erb’s Palsy Attorney

Erb’s Palsy is a common injury to the brachial plexus, also called dystocia. The most typical ways the injury is suffered is during birth. Many Erb’s Palsy conditions are attributed to obstetrics-related injuries. Dystocia occurs when a baby’s neck and shoulder gets stuck behind the mother’s cervix on the pubic bone cutting off blood flow to a potion of the baby’s body. There are many devices used by medical professionals to assist childbirth. Sometimes these utensils and devices have harmful effects on the child. Forceps and vacuums often attribute to many birth injuries including Erb’s Palsy.

While suffering from Erb’s Palsy is a very harrowing ordeal, there is hope that your child will not be physically handicapped for life. According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC), more than 80% of babies born with this condition fully recover.
