What Is A Brachial Plexus Injury?

It is when damage is done to the brachial plexus, which is a collection of nerves that run from the spinal cord toward the shoulder, hand and arm. The signals this network sends control arm/shoulder/hand movement and feeling. Types of injuries that can occur to this nerve grouping include:

  • Stretches: When a nerve is stretched but not torn
  • Rupture: When a nerve suffers a partial or complete tear
  • Avulsion: When a nerve is fully torn from the spinal cord

The severity of these shoulder, arm and hand injuries varies, with avulsions being the most serious.

Brachial Plexus Birth Injuries

Infants sometimes suffer these injuries at birth. They can happen during difficult deliveries, especially in those involving large infants, the breech position, long labor and excessive force. They can come in different forms. These injuries can affect a newborn’s ability to use their arm or hand and sometimes result in Erb’s palsy. This can potentially lead to long-term developmental challenges, especially without early intervention and treatment.

What Kentucky Parents Need To Know

It is important for parents of infants who are facing the challenges of brachial plexus injuries to understand their rights and possible legal protections.

  • What legal options are available? It depends on the situation. In some circumstances, a medical malpractice lawsuit may be a possibility.
  • When could injuries constitute medical malpractice? A brachial plexus injury might be grounds for a medical malpractice claim if it is suspected that it was caused by negligent mistakes by medical providers during childbirth, such as a failure to use delivery tools properly.
  • How could a medical malpractice claim help? Such lawsuits can allow parents to pursue compensation for lifelong costs and pain and suffering related to brachial plexus injuries.
  • Do you need a brachial plexus injury attorney? The legal issues related to brachial plexus injuries can be very complex. So, getting experienced legal representation can be a critical step in pursuing justice and protecting your family.
