What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional (whether it is a doctor, nurse, surgeon, or anesthesiologist) breaches an accepted standard of care, causing injury or death. Medical malpractice is the same thing as medical negligence. Medical malpractice claims in Arkansas can be brought against a physician, nurse, hospital, clinic, or medical facility.

Hiring an Arkansas Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Our attorneys recognize that medical professionals can, like the rest of us, make mistakes in the care and treatment of their patients.

Birth Injuries in Arkansas - Erb’s Palsy and Cerebral Palsy

Two of the most common (and often preventable) birth injuries are cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy. Cerebral palsy is a term used to describe a variety of problems that affect a baby’s motor control. Cerebral palsy can have a variety of causes including vacuum and forceps injuries, trauma, as well as issues related to hypoxia (lack of oxygen).

Erb’s palsy involves paralysis of the arm and is often caused by excessive traction being applied to free the baby’s shoulder when it gets trapped against the mother’s pelvic bone during birth. Erb’s palsy can be a permanent condition affecting the child throughout their life time. While cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy can occur even when there is no obstetrical malpractice, it is important to contact a birth injury lawyer to review the cause of these birth injuries.
