Brachial plexus, or Erb's palsy, is often caused by the failure to
undertake the proper maneuvers to properly deliver a child. Deviations
of a delivery surgeon's care can result in the infant suffering serious
and even debilitating injuries such as brachial plexus. If a child suffers
from Erb's palsy, this can be an indication that the health care provider's
actions deviated from the standard of care the patient deserved.
