This nerve network controls movement and sensation in the arm and hand. When these nerves are damaged during delivery, the result can be permanent paralysis or lasting weakness in a newborn&#8217;s wrist, hand, or fingers. These injuries often occur because of medical mistakes that were entirely preventable.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"595\" data-end=\"992\">To understand how these injuries occur and how doctors sometimes fail to prevent them, it is helpful to understand the anatomy. The brachial plexus is the bundle of nerves that runs from the spinal cord through the neck and into the shoulder, arm, and hand. When the upper nerves are damaged, it results in Erb\u2019s palsy. When the lower nerves are involved, it is referred to as Klumpke\u2019s palsy. If both regions are affected, the condition is often referred to as a global brachial plexus injury.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"994\" data-end=\"1366\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Doctors may debate whether Klumpke\u2019s palsy is always preventable, but there is little dispute that it can be caused by negligence. In many cases, a baby suffers a life-altering injury because a physician pulled too hard, failed to follow protocol, or made the wrong call under pressure. These are not rare flukes. They are avoidable injuries with devastating consequences.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.millerandzois.com\/medical-malpractice\/birth-injuries\/lawyer-brachial-plexus-palsy-erbs\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Klumpke&#8217;s Palsy Lawyer\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dejerine-Klumpke palsy (also known as Klumpke&#8217;s Palsy or Klumpke&#8217;s paralysis) is a rare but serious birth injury that affects the lower part of the brachial plexus.
