At Fertility Law Group, our birth injury lawyers understand the overwhelming emotions parents experience when their child suffers a preventable birth injury. The uncertainty about the future, the medical treatments, and the lifelong implications can feel daunting. We have dedicated our practice to supporting families to ensure children get the care they need while holding negligent doctors and hospitals accountable.
One of the most common yet often preventable birth injuries is brachial plexus injury, which includes Erb’s palsy and Klumpke’s palsy. These injuries occur when the delicate nerves controlling the baby’s arm and hand are damaged during delivery, often due to excessive force. Some children recover, but others face lifelong weakness, paralysis, and chronic pain.
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that runs from the spinal cord through the neck, shoulder, and into the arm and hand. These nerves control movement and sensation in the upper limbs. When stretched, compressed, or torn during birth, it can cause permanent disability.
Types of Brachial Plexus Injuries:
In many cases, these injuries could have been prevented if doctors had followed proper delivery protocols. Medical negligence is often a factor when excessive force is used or when doctors fail to address known risk factors.

Some children recover with therapy, while others face lifelong disability and chronic pain. The extent of recovery depends on the severity of nerve damage and the quality of early intervention.

The Emotional and Financial Burden on Families
The journey for families dealing with a brachial plexus injury is often long and emotionally exhausting. The costs of therapy, surgery, and specialized care add up quickly. Many parents must adjust their careers or leave their jobs entirely to care for their child.
