Brachial plexus injuries occur during difficult births when a newborn’s shoulder becomes lodged in the birth canal.

 In one case, a jury awarded $1.8 million in damages to the plaintiffs stemming from a brachial plexus injury which left a newborn with only limited use of her right arm.  The parents of the baby alleged the OB-GYN pulled too hard on the infant’s head in an attempt to pry the infant’s shoulder free.  Both the hospital and a nurse, who was also involved in the delivery, settled before trial.
