We Aggressively Fight For The Rights Of Our Clients

Has your newborn suffered nerve damage or injury to his or her shoulder because of carelessness or negligence during delivery? Does your child have one arm that’s clearly not developing at the same rate as the other limb? There’s a good chance your child suffers from Erb’s or Duchenne palsy, a condition caused by damage to nerves during delivery…and it’s also likely that the injuries could have been avoided through the exercise of reasonable care.

Fighting for the Rights of Children with Erb’s Palsy

Our attorneys understand the medical failures that can cause Erb’s palsy, including

• Excessive pulling on an infant’s shoulders during a head-first delivery
• Applying excessive pressure on the child’s raised arms during a breech, or feet-first, delivery
• Failing to deliver through caesarean section
• The negligent use of forceps or suction during delivery

Common Legal Questions

What Needs to Be Proved to Win a Medical Negligence Case?

A personal injury victim must prove several of the typical elements of negligence to win their medical negligence case. They must show that the medical provider owed them a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused their injuries. They must also prove they suffered damages as a result of the medical negligence. Medical negligence and malpractice cases typically require the use of medical experts to show how a provider deviated from their standard of care.

What is Medical Malpractice?

All doctors, physicians, and nurses must adhere to a professional standard of care when treating patients. This standard of care is determined by the medical community. Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional fails to provide the proper standard of care and injures a patient. Medical malpractice typically results in the worsening of an existing condition.

How Does a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Work?

Medical malpractice lawsuits usually begin with an insurance claim. Your attorney will attempt to prove your case and negotiate a settlement that covers your damages. If obtaining compensation outside of court is not an option, you can pursue a civil suit. Want to find out more? Read our full article here.

What is the Average Settlement for a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?

Since medical malpractice covers such a wide variety of injuries and scenarios, there is no average settlement amount for a medical malpractice lawsuit. Furthermore, many individual factors can affect a settlement’s amount, such as the injury’s permanence and impact on your job and whether your case settles out of court. When thinking about your malpractice case, remember that it is a  personal injury with losses. Malpractice is then subcategorized into different types, each with its own area.  To learn more, please read our full article here.
