An experienced birth injury and Erb’s Palsy lawyer will review the prenatal and birth records to see if the chosen delivery method (vaginal delivery) was appropriate. If the baby is too large or the woman is too small, the doctor may unnecessarily increase the risk of an Erb’s Palsy injury by proceeding with vaginal delivery. The birth injury lawyer will then contact experts to review the records to determine if there was negligence. If the doctor and/or nurse were negligent, and if the negligence was a cause of the birth injury, then you have a cause. Erb’s Palsy injuries are life-changing for a baby and for the parents. The medical bills are very large and the child may not ever be able to use his or her arm in any functional way. Because of this, the lawyer can work up the case to try to ensure the child and the family have the financial resources they will need to take care of the injury for the rest of the child’s life.
