Brachial Plexus Injury Attorneys

The brachial plexus is a grouping of nerves that conducts signals from the spinal cord to the shoulder, arm and hand. Brachial plexus injuries, or lesions, are caused by damage to those nerves.

Brachial plexus injuries, or lesions, occur as a result of shoulder trauma, tumors, or inflammation. Obstetric injuries occur from mechanical injury involving shoulder dystocia during difficult childbirth.

Signs and Symptoms of a brachial plexus birth injury can include a limp or paralyzed arm, lack of muscle control in arm, hand, or wrist, and lack of feeling or sensation in arm or hand. Infants suffering from a brachial plexus injury that occurred during delivery have weakness, depending on which portion of the brachial plexus is involved.
