New York City Erb's Palsy Attorneys

The New York City Erb's palsy attorneys at The Law Offices of Ginsberg and Broome understand the long-term difficulties that can be caused by this type of birth injury. Erb's palsy is also known as brachial plexus palsy and occurs when a baby's shoulder becomes lodged against the mother's pelvis during delivery. The nerves connecting the shoulder, arm, and hand to the spinal cord are then ripped or stretched. Long-term disabilities including problems with musculoskeletal development, sensory and motor function impairment, or complete paralysis of the affected hand, shoulder, and/or arm are suffered by many of the children who have Erb's palsy injuries. If the proper steps were not taken to prevent Erb's palsy, medical malpractice may have occurred and you could be entitled to compensation. Our Erb's palsy attorneys can review your case and determine the best course of action.
