Common Birth Injuries

Brachial Plexus Injuries – Our personal injury attorneys are experienced with handling many forms of brachial plexus injuries such as brachial plexus palsy, klumpke’s palsy, and erb’s palsy.  The nerves that run from the spinal cord to the hand and wrist are referred to as the brachial plexus nerves.  If these nerves are injured it affects the movement of the hand or wrist.  This can cause complete permanent paralysis or temporary partial paralysis of the hand or wrist.  These injuries usually occur during birth, but it is possible for them to occur at post birth.  According to www.birthinjury.org, three out of 1,000 children experience a brachial plexus birth injury.  If you or your child has sustained a brachial plexus injury, you may be entitled to a personal injury settlement.  Our attorneys are familiar, experienced, and educated on the many types of brachial plexus medical malpractice lawsuits.

Cerebral Palsy

Our birth injury law attorneys have also served as cerebral palsy lawyers for numerous medical malpractice lawsuits in the Chicago area.  Like many brachial plexus injuries, cerebral palsy usually occurs at the birth of an infant, but it may be detected until the age of three.  However, cerebral palsy is not caused by problems in the nerves or muscles, but rather in the section of the brain that sends movement to the muscles.  It is a neurological disorder that affects body movement and muscle coordination throughout the entire body.  Every case of cerebral palsy differs.  The levels of disability greatly vary in each case, as well as the severity.
