Brachial Plexus Attorney
Information on Brachial Plexus Injury
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that connect your arm to your spinal cord. These nerves are responsible for controlling sensation and movement in the arm, including the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. A brachial plexus injury occurs when these nerves are strained or otherwise damaged, resulting in temporary or permanent paralysis. The permanency of a brachial plexus injury depends on the nature and severity of the injury.

Brachial plexus injuries can occur at any point in a person's life. While those who participate in contact sports like wrestling or football often suffer from minor brachial plexus injuries (called "burners" and "stingers" for the sensation experienced when the brachial plexus is overstretched), serious injuries can occur when the brachial plexus is torn or completely severed from the spinal cord.
Sadly, many serious brachial plexus injuries occur during birth. These birth injuries, such as Erb's palsy and Klumpke's palsy, are highly preventable when doctors pay attention to signs that warn of a difficult birth. When doctors fail to properly monitor a pregnant woman or fail to take action to prevent difficult births, they may be held liable if their negligence results in a birth injury. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can help assess your situation and tell you if you have a claim worth pursuing against a medical practitioner.
