It’s a question that no parent ever wants to ask themselves, but if your child was born with a birth injury, you may be struggling to come to terms with what happened. You may be wondering how this could have happened to your child and what you can do to help them.
If you think a birth injury has affected your child, seek medical help to diagnose the injury and then consult with a team of Chicago Erbs Palsy and Brachial Plexus injury lawyers to know your legal rights.
One of the most common birth injuries is Erb’s palsy, a form of brachial plexus palsy that leads to weakness and possible paralysis of a newborn’s arm. Erb’s palsy results from a stretch injury to your baby’s brachial plexus, a network of nerves near the neck that connects to the nerves of the arm that control movement and feeling in the arms and hands.
If medical negligencehas affected your child, we can help you get the compensation you deserve.
