Goldberg Law Offices provide dedicated support to victims of brachial plexus palsy to help ensure they pursue the compensation needed to pay for a potential lifetime of special needs.
What Wisconsin and Illinois Families Need to Know About Erbs Palsy and Similar Conditions
Erb's palsy is a condition affecting the network of nerves that runs from the neck, across the shoulder, to the arm and the hand. The most serious cases of Erbs palsy render the whole arm, elbow and hand essentially useless. Klumpke's palsy is similar to Erb's palsy, but it generally affects only the hand.
Both conditions may result from birth trauma often closely connected to failure of physicians to perform an appropriate mode of delivery.
Our attorneys at Jeffrey M. Goldberg Law Offices represent families throughout the United States whose children were born with shoulder dystocia, Erb's palsy, Klumpke's palsy, Horner's syndrome and other types of brachial plexus injuries.

These include vaginal delivery of a baby that is estimated to be 10 lbs. or larger at birth, an awkwardly positioned baby (transverse or breech), the development of gestational diabetes in the mother, excessive weight gain by the mother, a pregnancy lasting beyond 40 weeks, and an extended or protracted second stage of labor.
