Erb's Palsy or Brachial Plexus Palsy

Erb's Palsy, or brachial plexus palsy, is an all too common and often preventable birth injury, and The Law Offices of Michael J. Weiss in Cherry Hill, NJ has successfully represented many children and families affected with this condition. Brachial plexus palsy, commonly known as Erb's Palsy, results from injury to the brachial plexus, a nerve bundle between the neck and shoulder, that occurs during delivery. Erb's Palsy can cause varying degrees of muscular impairment and loss of motion to the shoulder, arm and hand. In almost all cases, permanent Erb's Palsy injuries discovered at or shortly after birth are considered preventable.

Obstetricians can minimize the chances of Erb's Palsy occurring through routine fetal monitoring and other standard delivery procedures. But proving a particular case of Erb's Palsy was preventable requires a thorough analysis of fetal monitoring and other medical records, and consultations with specialists such as obstetricians and pediatric neurologists.
