Erb's Palsy and Medical Malpractice

1. What is Erb's palsy?
Erb's palsy or brachial plexus palsy or shoulder dystocia occurs when excessive traction is applied to the fetal neck area during delivery which results in the compression of the brachial plexus nerves. Erb's palsy can cause a number of problems which may include: * Problems in controlling arm muscles * Problems with controlling various arm functions * Problems with normal arm growth
2. If my child is suffering from Erb's palsy what should I do?
It is extremely important to have an experienced medical malpractice injury attorney who has expertise in the handling and presentation of Erb's palsy cases. An attorney should be contacted immediately if one suspects that the Erb's palsy was caused by medical negligence.
3. How do I go about getting experts to help me with my case?
Your attorney will be able to suggest a team of experts that can range from private investigators to doctors to economists to help develop your case.
4. Who will pay the expenses of hiring all of these experts?
In most cases, the law firm or attorneys will advance all costs and expenses of the case as they are incurred. Once the case is concluded, they would be reimbursed for their costs out of the recovery. In some states, even if there is no recovery, the client is still responsible for the costs and expenses of the case even though the client owes no legal fees. In other states, if there is no recovery, the client will owe nothing for the costs and expenses, which will be absorbed by the law firm or attorney.
