Erb’s Palsy is linked to birth trauma and affects the brachial plexus, which is the crucial bundle of nerves running through the shoulder area. Damage to this nerve bundle can produce symptoms varying from mild to total paralysis. Erb’s palsy can sometimes resolve, or lead to lifelong disability.
If it is suspected that a very young child has suffered damage to their brachial plexus before, during or shortly after birth, then early diagnosis and treatment can make a crucial difference to recovery.
As with other types of birth injury, careful analysis of the mother’s clinical birthing notes is essential to identify whether the clinical care given has fallen below an acceptable medical standard. A member of our medical negligence team will be able to do this for you and advise whether you are entitled to bring an Erb’s palsy claim for compensation.
Team leader, Oliver Thorne, is particularly experienced in this field. He has successfully pursued negligence claims on behalf of many children who have suffered Erb’s palsy following shoulder dystocia and has helped recover more than £15m for children affected by cerebral palsy. Oliver was also instrumental is creating our dedicated childbirth injury website which contains a vast amount of helpful information and relevant case studies showcasing our successes: visit www.childbirthinjurysolicitors.co.uk

Here is just a short selection of some of the reviews that our clients have left for our clinical negligence team:
Maddy Lawrence
“With the premature death of our eldest daughter, as it turned out, by clinical negligence, we were facing a very difficult journey both in proving fault and keeping heart and soul together. That we were able to, in terms of the fault element, was down to our professional legal team. They provided clear, calm and compassionate advice which got us through a horrendous inquest and subsequent legal maneuverers. They, in short, were magnificent and we are extremely grateful that we had them on our side.”
Great firm!
“I had an experience with Oliver Thorne who was nothing but helpful with settling my claim. He was very patient and professional as well as making sure I was happy and content throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a solicitor!”
Compassionate, thorough, and outstanding legal support thus far
”Jade was incredibly friendly, taking the time to ask all the right questions and thoroughly investigate our case. Unlike previous solicitors, who dismissed us, Jade and the team at Slee Blackwell delved deeper and gave us renewed hope. We are extremely grateful for the dedication and professionalism in fighting for us. I would recommend Slee Blackwell to anyone in need of legal assistance.”

Caroline has been supportive every step of the way, she has informed me and kept me updated how the claim has progressed she has also had great understanding around my mental health and the physical damage I have occurred. I cannot thank the team enough. The team made this experience easier for me to deal with my emotional distress and pain.”

Exceptional Service
“I have received expert advice throughout my case, the attention to detail is second to none. Their professional outlook and relatability means that I always recommend the firm. When I was unclear of any information or possible outcomes they took the time to speak with me on a personal level, confirming our conversation through email, I feel supported and understood and most of all they are empathetic, something that is often missing from large firms.”
Friendly, professional, knowledgeable.
“Oliver assisted me in the aftermath of my father’s sudden death in hospital. He helped me to draught my initial letter of complaint to the health authority, represented me and my mother at the inquest and ultimately succeeded in bringing a successful claim. I always felt I could approach Oliver with any questions and he would explain the legal processes in an understandable way. I would not hesitate to recommend him should anyone find themselves in a similar unfortunate position.”
Excellent solicitor
“I cannot recommend this firm highly enough and especially Caroline who is professional approachable and thorough, she works tirelessly and is a real credit to the firm, you are not made to feel like just a number as with other firms, it’s a pleasure to have such an excellent solicitor to represent you when you have gone through so much she is so understanding and knowledgeable.”
