Erbs Palsy Lawyers Spreading Awareness Of Ailment

Erbs Palsy is a permanent condition of partial or complete paralysis of the arm caused by damage to the Brachial plexus. These nerves connect the shoulder to the spine.

1. The most common cause of injuries to the Brachial plexus occur during birth. However, there are many ways that a person can sustain injury at any point of their lives that can leave them with permanent or reduced mobility of their arm, or shoulder pain without paralysis, depending on the amount of damage sustained.
2. The individuals most prone to Erbs palsy are infants that were injured during child birth. This usually happens to an infant who is too large to be delivered naturally, or because of someone pulling the baby from the birth canal. Erbs palsy lawyers are readily available to help victims deal with the aftermath of Brachial plexus damage which resulted in Erbs palsy and they seek compensation for a child or a loved one’s injuries.
3. Erbs palsy occurs far too often in infants due to the negligence of medical professionals or even medical malpractice. There are over one hundred thousand avoidable deaths each year as a result of medical mistakes.
4. The majority of health care professionals are caring, capable individuals who have the health and well-being of their patients at heart while they do the best they can to treat them. Unfortunately, medical mistakes do happen and they sometimes leave the patient and their affected loved ones as innocent victims.
5. Medical professionals are people who make mistakes like everyone else. Many doctors and medical professionals are overworked and lack a full staff to operate at optimum capacity. This leaves room for error.
6. Sadly, one or two out of every one thousand babies develop Erbs palsy. During a complicated delivery, the infant’s neck is stretched too far to one side. Fortunately, most infants recover with physical therapy, due in large part to the effort from the parents aiding in the recovery, especially within the first year.

Erbs palsy lawyers can assist a victim who has been affected directly or indirectly by this condition because of negligence or medical malpractice to recover medical costs and other expenses. Awareness and passing the knowledge on is a positive first step to reducing the staggering number of affected individuals.
