Philadelphia Lawyers for Families Dealing With Erb's Palsy
Serious birth injuries are devastating for both the baby who will face physical or mental challenges throughout life and the families who were expecting a healthy newborn. Sadly, many of these injuries are a result of delivery room errors and should have been avoided. Erb's palsy (also called brachial palsy and brachia plexus) is one such injury.
The Philadelphia law office of Silvers, Langsam & Weitzman—better known as MyPhillyLawyer—has extensive experience handling birth injury cases, including those involving Erb's Palsy. Our attorneys are able to effectively expose doctor negligence during the delivery. With the help of medical experts, we determine the extent of the injury and build a strong case that leads to recovering adequate compensation.

Signs and Symptoms of Erb's Palsy
Does you newborn favor one arm over the other? Does your baby have a decreased grip in one hand? Is there a lack of movement in one arm, shoulder or hand? These can all be signs of Erb's palsy.
Erb's palsy is typically caused when a doctor pulls too hard on the arm or forces a newborn's head and neck to one side during delivery. If not careful, the doctor can damage nerves in the shoulder so severely that the arm will never have full motor function, even with corrective surgery.
