Waco Erb’s Palsy Lawyer
Expectant parents must contend with an almost unfathomable array of worries. Throughout the course of pregnancy there are numerous tests to monitor the health of the child while he or she is developing in the womb. Then, there are the parenting books and other resources which go to great lengths to elaborate upon all the potential illnesses that your newborn son or daughter may develop in the early stages of life. But these experiences and resources cannot adequately prepare a family for the reality of dealing with a birth injury such as Erb’s palsy.
Medical malpractice in the delivery room or in the course of prenatal care is inexcusable, as it threatens the most vulnerable patients – unborn and newborn children.

Erb’s Palsy
In virtually all cases, Erb’s palsy is caused by distress inflicted upon an infant during a difficult delivery. Part of a physician’s obligation to your newborn’s health is to ascertain whether there are any indications that delivery is likely to pose problems, and to alleviate them in a swift and cautious manner if they arise. When a newborn is subjected to pressure and physical strain during birth, Erb’s palsy may result.
Erb’s palsy is characterized by paralysis of the upper arm that results from nerve damage. Depending upon the severity of injury, the following may occur:
- Natural, unassisted recovery – may take many months
- Stunted development of the injured arm
- Compromised temperature regulation due to impaired circulatory development
- Inability for skin to heal properly from injury
