What Are My Options When I Think My Doctor In New Orleans Caused My Baby’s Erb’s Palsy?

Erb’s palsy is a form of paralysis caused by damage to the nerves connecting the shoulder to the spine, in a region called the brachial plexus. It is a common birth injury that can be caused when a baby is pulled from the birth canal, or when the baby is too large for easy passage through the birth canal and experiences shoulder dystocia.

Doctors in New Orleans, however well trained and intentioned, make mistakes. From failure to properly diagnose and treat gestational diabetes and fetal macrosomia to delays in treatment when fetal distress was evident during delivery, when it comes to birth injuries like Erb’s palsy, the families experience genuine, tangible harm when their healthcare professionals let them down.

Families of babies with Erb’s palsy are often in a position of needing to pay for medical care for decades to come. They may also wish to help prevent others from being harmed by doctors who practice recklessly in New Orleans.
