Erbs Palsy Lawyer | Birth Injury Center

Erb’s palsy, also known as Erb-Duchenne palsy or brachial plexus palsy, is a type of injury to certain nerves of the arms. It most commonly occurs during birth, although the injury can also occur during the first few months of life. Erb’s palsy is caused by traumatic force that damages the baby’s brachial plexus, a critical network of nerves near the neck. These nerves originate from the spinal cord, and are responsible for both feeling and movements in the fingers, hand, and arm.
