Brachial Plexus Palsy :: Medical Negligence Solicitors

The braxchial plexus is a network of nerves that emanate from the spinal cord in the region of the neck and pass across the shoulder and chest before terminating at the fingers. Damage to these nerves can cause serious injury that affects control of the arm and hand including full paralysis. Brachial plexus injuries which may be the result of medical negligence include Klumpkes palsy, Erbs palsy, torticollis and complete brachial plexus palsy.
