Did Your Doctor’s Negligence Cause Your Child’s Injury?

We trust medical professionals to help guide us through pregnancy and childbirth, but sometimes the actions they take can cause serious injuries to your newly born infant. One of the most dangerous birth injuries your child can face is known as Erb’s palsy.

Erb's palsy affects approximately two out of every 1,000 infants born in the United States, and can be the result of negligent actions taken by your doctor.
