During most deliveries complications are encountered by the doctor and medical staff which require quick decisions and prudent reactions. In most cases, a properly trained doctor who is giving their full time and attention to the delvery, is able to react appropriately and deal with the complication. However, when the proper standard of medical care is not followed, the child may suffere a birth injury and be left with Erb's Palsy (also known as Brachial Plexus Injury).
When a person driving a car makes a mistake and has an accident, they are held accountable for the damaes they cause. Similarly, if a doctor or hospital, which has been entrusted with the care of the mother and baby, makes a medical error resulting in Erb's Palsy, they should be held accountable thsrough a medical malpractice lawsuit.
A birth mistake can result in substantial pain and suffering for the child who is left with Erb’s Palsy and substantial expenses can be incurred by the family to provide treatment for their child. In many cases the brachial plexus injury could have been prevented through the proper use of medical procedures and available technology.
