Could you claim for Erb's Palsy compensation?
What is Erb's Palsy and when can you claim compensation?
Erb’s Palsy is an injury commonly caused to a baby during birth when the shoulder becomes stuck after the head has been delivered (shoulder dystocia) and the brachial plexus nerves in the trapped shoulder are stretched and injured.
This is often the result of medical staff using excessive force on your baby's shoulder during birth. While the majority of children make a full recovery with prompt treatment, some can be left with lifelong injury.
Medical professionals should recognise the signs of shoulder dystocia and take clear steps to solve the problem. You may be able to claim compensation if the medical professional didn't:
- Use the correct tools/force during the birth
- Advise you about the potential risks of birth injuries
- Acknowledge signs that can cause Erb's Palsy
- Refer you for a caesarean section in the likelihood of a problematic birth
- Take steps to move your baby out of a trapped position
Generally, claims should be made within three years from the date you or a loved one suffered medical negligence (although there are exceptions, such as in the case of children where the three-year limit doesn't start until after their 18th birthday).

How can Erb's Palsy compensation help you and your child?
Our starting point is that your financial settlement should give you the means to navigate the future, giving you funds to cover all medical, equipment and care needs.
Compensation can also be used for associated costs such as parents taking additional time off work or if your child has had their future earning potential impacted.
Making a claim can also be about recognising the impact this experience has had on your life. We know that often this isn't simply a physical injury - there can also be associated psychological and emotional problems. As a parent, it can be very difficult to cope emotionally after what is likely to have been a traumatic birth, as well as looking after a child who may be facing lifelong disability.
Getting the right support and advice is often as important as obtaining a financial settlement.
"I heard about Tozers through the Erb’s Palsy Support Group, and from the minute I telephoned I felt that they understood."
"I liked the fact that no matter how many times I called or asked questions I was never made to feel stupid or like I was wasting people’s time."
