Obtaining Compensation for Erb's Palsy and Shoulder Dystocia
If your baby suffered at the hand of a negligent physician, it does not mean the doctor is a bad person. In most malpractice cases, physicians never intend to cause patients harm. Like most people, they are subject to errors in judgment. However, medical professionals carry significant insurance coverage for incidents deemed as medical malpractice.
The standard course of action for injured parties and their families to be compensated for significant injury or wrongful death is through filing a lawsuit. At Davis & Davis, Attorneys at Law, we fiercely protect the rights of clients and aggressively pursue maximum compensation allowed under law.
As experienced medical malpractice attorneys, we have worked with numerous individuals and families facing the challenges of living with preventable medical mistakes. We are proud to have achieved great success in obtaining tangible verdicts and settlements for birth injury such as:
- Erb's Palsy, also known as Erb-Duchenne Palsy, caused by stretching shoulder nerves at the brachial plexus (Erb's point) by pulling a baby's head too forcefully
- Paralysis of the arm when its upper group of nerves are damaged by force
- Dystocia caused by the baby's shoulder being lodged in the birth canal
Doctors and nurses are trained in proper procedures to dislodge babies stuck in the birth canal. Unfortunately, birth injuries occur too often because of poor judgment, improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction or forcefully pulling on the baby's head. By taking legal action against physician error for your child's birth injury, you can help to stop the negligent causes of Erb's Palsy. You can help save other parents from the distress you have experienced.
