Brachial Plexus Injuries Can Have Lasting Impact
Brachial plexus injuries are quite common, and often affect people involved in car accidents, serious bicycle accidents and slip-and-fall accidents. Babies can also suffer a brachial plexus birth injury that can adversely affect their first months out of the womb. Essentially, anytime a person’s shoulder is forced in the opposite direction as his or her head, a brachial plexus injury is likely.
The injuries can result in minor symptoms such as an electric feeling or burning sensation in your arm to extended periods of numbness or weakness. More severe brachial plexus injuries can result in serious complications, including:
- Losing the use of your fingers
- Difficulty controlling your shoulder or elbow muscles
- Severe pain, including neck pain
- Losing the ability to control any part of your limb
You should immediately seek medical attention if you are suffering from any of the above symptoms. Be sure to have your doctor carefully document his or her findings, and then contact an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. We will carefully analyze the facts of your case, review your doctor’s findings and consult with additional medical experts to help build your case.
