New York City and Long Island Brachial Plexus Injury Lawyers
Erb's palsy describes a nerve injury that impairs a child's ability to use one of his or her arms. This condition happens as the result of a complication during birth known as shoulder dystocia when a child's shoulder becomes trapped behind the mother's pelvic bone during the delivery process. It is a predictable event that should be avoided but, if it does occur, can be managed in such a way as to avoid nerve injury.
Strong Representation for Erb's Palsy Victims
At the law firm of Julien & Schlesinger, P.C., our New York City Erb's palsy lawyers represent injury victims throughout the state in all types of these cases. Depending on the severity of the trauma suffered during delivery, injuries can range from temporary nerve damage to a lifelong loss of the use of the arm.
Our attorneys have a solid track record in representing plaintiffs who have been caused to suffer this devastating injury, and we are prepared to utilize every legal means at our disposal in order to see that negligent doctors and midwives are held accountable for the harm they cause. We will not recommend a settlement offer unless we feel it is in your best interests to do so. If a fair settlement cannot be negotiated, we are ready to go to trial in order seek the justice you deserve.
