Erb’s Palsy And Brachial Plexus Palsy

A form of brachial plexus injury, Erb’s palsy, frequently results in impairment of the shoulder, upper arm and thumb and fingers. The affected body parts often develop improperly and become atrophied and weak, with a degree of paralysis. Erb’s Palsy results from damage to the nerves in the shoulder.

If your child was born with Erb’s palsy, let The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm, LLC, file a claim against the medical professional who delivered your child. To find out if you have a case, fill out our form below or call us today.
