Brachial Plexus and Erb's Palsy Handling Complex Cases With Unparalleled Expertise

Columbus Brachial Plexus & Erb’s Palsy Attorney

Put Decades of Experience in Your Corner

Delivering a child requires precision, delicate hands, and absolute control. A single mistake or act of negligence can cause the infant to suffer a serious birth injury. When the delivering doctor pulls too harshly or in the wrong direction, damage to the child’s arm can easily occur, leading to painful consequences that may persist for the rest of their life.

If your infant has arm-related injuries due to medical negligence at the time of birth, you can seek justice and financial compensation to cover recovery and hospital costs. 

Contact our Columbus brachial plexus & Erb’s palsy attorneys at Rourke & Blumenthal by calling (614) 321-3212 today to get started.

Rely on a Seasoned & Reputable Team

At our personal injury firm, we understand that our clients deserve to be treated with the utmost respect, and their birth injury cases need to be approached delicately, especially if bodily injuries or brain damage is involved. The matters you are dealing with could be weighing heavily on your mind, so our goal is to do all we can to make you feel comfortable throughout this process.

Different Forms of Arm-Related Birth Injuries

There are various forms of injuries that could afflict your infant’s arm if the birthing procedure is not handled appropriately. Understanding the wound or disorder affecting your child is critical when pursuing claims for damages.

When the medical staff acts negligently, your child could suffer from:

  • Brachial plexus: Harm to the upper portion of the arm that can cause weakness, muscle paralysis, and a chronic burning sensation.
  • Erb’s palsy: Harm to the nerves of the upper arm which can lead to loss of feeling, general weakness, or even total paralysis of the arm.
  • Klumpke’s palsy: Harm to the nerves in the lower arm, mainly affecting the fingers and wrist, and possibly twisting the hand permanently into a claw-like shape.

Each type of palsy presents its own set of complications and necessary therapies. For instance, intensive physical therapy and possibly surgery may be required to restore full function. Understanding these conditions thoroughly can guide you in seeking appropriate medical and legal resources.

      I was blown away by Michael Rourke's professionalism, legal expertise, and his commitment to advocate on my behalf.
      - Ashley M.
      "Very Respectful, Caring & Compassionate"
      We sincerely want to express our gratitude to Mike Rourke and Jon Stoudt for their commitment to us and our case. Their guidance through the whole process was invaluable. The whole time they were very respectful, caring, and compassionate regarding our circumstances. They explained in detail every step of the process. This gave us peace of mind when moving forward with the case. We put our trust in Mike and Jon, and so glad we did. Their skilled expertise was instrumental in the outcome of our case. We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome. Thank you to Mike, Jon, and their wonderful staff.

      "You NEED attorneys who are experienced in TBI cases."
      Wonderful firm! We have worked with other attorneys in the past and Mike and Tim blew us away. If you have a brain injury in the State of Ohio, you NEED attorneys who are experienced in TBI cases, not just motor vehicle accidents or other personal injury matters. It makes a huge difference having an attorney who understands the medical, emotional, and financial issues a family suffers after a TBI. They are professional, compassionate, and great communicators. I would recommend this office to anyone.
      - Suzanne
      "Attorney Stoudt is the best lawyer I've ever worked with."
      Attorney Jon Stoudt is the best lawyer I've ever worked with. He did everything he could to help me. From the start, Jon was very responsive and always explained everything in terms I could easily understand. Jon's staff was also kind and responsive. I highly recommend Jon and would use him again in the future. Several months after being done with my case, another lawyer, handling a different part of the case, commented on how well Jon handled my civil suit.
      - Jillian
      "Mr. Rourke and his team were extremely compassionate, knowledgeable and friendly"
      From the very beginning and to the very end of a long process, Mr. Rourke and his team were extremely compassionate, knowledgeable and friendly. I found them to be honest and easy to communicate with, day or night, weekday or weekend. Mr. Rourke was always professional but at the same time made you feel important and took as much time that was needed to explain the many steps in this process. Everyone of his team were very respectful and caring of everyone in my family involved in our case. I will have an admiration for Mr. Rourke and his team for the remainder of my life.
      - Kelly
      "Excellent Counsel"
      Jonathan Stoudt gave us excellent counsel during our time with him.
      - Cathy
      "I always felt that he had my best interests as the top priority."
      Mr Timothy Mahler represented me after a personal injury auto accident. He was professional, knowledgeable, empathetic and experienced. I always felt that he had my best interests as the top priority. I was relieved from the intricate and time-consuming tasks related to the accident, free to focus on healing and recovery. He managed the complicated insurance and settlement to the best outcome. His team always treated me with respect. I would highly recommend Mr Mahler and his team. Thank you.
      - Cathy B.
      "I will forever be grateful for their help!"
      I suffered physical injuries and a concussion from an auto accident in December of 2020. The team, from receptionist to attorneys, were nothing less than stellar, professional, kind, and hard working. The accident and aftermath were extremely stressful; but the Rourkes, Michael Senior and Michael Junior, helped me navigate the process while I focused on healing. For me, recovery from the accident was the most important part of the process. While I worked on recovering, Rourke and Blumenthal worked on negotiating a fantastic settlement for me. I will forever be grateful for their help!
      - Maggie S.
