When the medical professional did not provide the highest quality care possible, or when they fail to provide the standard of care accepted by the medical community, you have the legal right to sue them for compensation for your medical bills, your own trauma, and your child’s pain.
Malpractice takes place when the physician ignored the risk factors that are identifiable before delivery, failure to provide information about the possibility of child complications, have not anticipated a chance of shoulder dystocia, or failed to take proper preventative steps in case of a dystocia situation. This may also include the physician’s use of misdirected or excessive force to reposition the infant resulting to the tearing of nerves, which is the primary cause of Erb’s palsy.
