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 and lead to painful consequences that 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 that covers any recovery and hospital costs. Contact our Columbus brachial plexus & erb’s palsy attorneys at Rourke & Blumenthal 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 that 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.

Benefits of choosing to work with Rourke & Blumenthal include our:

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 that is affecting your child could be critical in winning your case.

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.

Call (614) 321-3212 Today to Find Justice for Your Child

By working closely with the medical staff that helped with the birth of your child and with other experts in the field, we can approach your case from every angle and leave no piece of evidence unexamined. Our ultimate goal is to help you give your injured child the most comfortable life possible, even if that means taking your case to court and aggressively fighting on your behalf.

Birth injuries caused by negligent staff members are seen as forms of injustice by our Columbus brachial plexus injury lawyers, and we do all we can to find you a fair settlement. We have extensive experience with birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. If you believe your child might be suffering from Brachial plexus, Erb’s palsy, or Klumpke’s palsy as a result of a preventable birth injury, contact our compassionate and genuine team at Rourke & Blumenthal today.

      "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.

      "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.

      "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!

      Attys. Mike Rourke, Sr. and Mike Rourke, Jr., helped us understand and settle all the legalities after my husband was hit be a car while riding his bicycle. Their extensive knowledge with injury cases, and their professionalism were ever-present, along with their empathy and understanding of what people experience after injuries that change lives. These attorneys always do what they promise, and in a timely and concise manner.. We would recommend Rourke & Blumenthal for anyone who needs legal services related to an accident or injury.
