Such injuries can be caused by the failure to perform a timely cesarean section, misuse of forceps or vacuum during delivery, or abuse of birth inducing medications such as Pitocin.

For those who suffer damage to the brachial plexus nerve in the shoulder, they may develop lifelong disabilities. This medical condition is known as Erb’s palsy.
