Fortunately, with a high-powered Lake Oswego Erb’s palsy lawyer from Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC working for you, the claims process does not need to be intimidating. Our Lake Oswego birth injury lawyers have collectively recovered millions of dollars over the last 50+ years. Let us help your family hold the at-fault party accountable. Schedule your free consultation today.
You are going to need a powerful legal advocate by your side if your child has been diagnosed with Erb’s palsy. This condition most often occurs when healthcare providers fail to take necessary precautions during prolonged labor and difficult deliveries. Healthcare providers should be properly trained on how to deliver babies who may become stuck under the mother’s pelvic bone, thus resulting in shoulder dystocia and eventual brachial plexus birth injuries.
Those who fail to utilize these maneuvers may be held accountable. Your committed Lake Oswego medical malpractice lawyer with Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC will be by your side every step of the claims process. Our firm will be responsible for gathering the evidence we need to prove your healthcare provider breached the medical standard of care as described under ORS § 677.095(1).
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
The severity of your child’s diagnosis will determine how much compensation your family is entitled to. In some patients with Erb’s palsy, the muscles or tendons have been damaged but were not completely severed or torn. With severed or torn muscles or tendons, it is more likely the child will experience some disability, loss of motion, or loss of functionality.
We will need to take into consideration the way your child’s life will be affected by their diagnosis. We need to consider how their mental health will suffer, whether their Erb’s palsy diagnosis will prevent them from being able to gain employment or complete daily living task, and consider the financial implications that come with lifelong medical interventions. Fortunately, with our firm handling your case, you can feel empowered to demand justice for your newborn.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
