Common Causes of Erb's Palsy in San Antonio

Erb's Palsy commonly arises from nerve damage during childbirth, often due to the use of undue force or improper handling by the delivering physician. Factors contributing to such injuries include:

  • Improper Use Of Birth Instruments: Incorrect handling of tools like forceps can damage the infant's brachial plexus.
  • Mismanagement Of Shoulder Dystocia: Failure to address this condition can lead to excessive force being applied.
  • Failure To Perform A Timely C-Section: In some situations, a delayed cesarean section can result in complications leading to nerve injury.
  • Improper Delivery Techniques: Maneuvers that place stress on the infant’s neck and shoulders can cause nerve damage.

Understanding these causes helps families identify potential negligence and decide on appropriate legal action. Our attorneys guide you through this process, focusing on holding responsible parties accountable and securing compensation to aid your child's recovery.

Moreover, we emphasize the importance of thorough and precise medical documentation in these cases. Such records not only help in substantiating claims but also in capturing the direct correlation between negligence and the resulting condition, which is crucial in crafting an effective legal strategy that addresses both immediate and long-term needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Erb's Palsy

What Is Erb's Palsy & How Does It Affect Children?

Erb’s Palsy is a condition caused by injury to the brachial plexus nerves during childbirth. This injury usually occurs at the shoulder and can result in weakened or paralyzed arm muscles. Children with Erb’s Palsy may require extensive physical therapy or surgical intervention to regain mobility and strength. It’s vital to identify the signs early, such as limited arm movement or an asymmetrical grip reflex, to initiate timely intervention. Understanding the implications and severity of the injury allows parents and caregivers to plan effectively for physical therapies and other rehabilitation efforts necessary for the child's development.

In many situations, early intervention can greatly improve recovery outcomes, reducing the long-term impact of the condition. Parents should consider engaging with pediatric neurologists and physical therapists who can tailor a specific care plan suited to their child's needs. This proactive approach not only aids in recovery but also helps in setting realistic expectations about the progression and outcomes of therapy.
