Brachial Plexus Injury Lawyer in Dallas
Birth Injury Representation in Dallas County, Hidalgo County & Statewide
If your baby was born with a weak, limp, or unusually positioned arm, you may be dealing with a brachial plexus injury, damage to the network of nerves that runs from the spinal cord to the shoulder, arm, and hand.
These injuries often happen when a baby's shoulder becomes stuck during delivery; the delivery team's response in that moment can make the difference between a full recovery and a lifelong disability.
At Law Office of Kelly Liebbe, Attorney Kelly Liebbe personally reviews brachial plexus injuries from the moment she comes on board. Kelly reads delivery records, works with physicians who can explain what should have happened when the baby's shoulder became stuck, and tells you honestly whether your child's injury could have been prevented.
At our firm, you are never handed off to an intake team. You work directly with Kelly, a medical malpractice lawyer who has successfully resolved high-stakes claims since 2007, from start to finish.

What Happens When You Call Law Office of Kelly Liebbe
When dealing with our firm, you talk to Kelly directly from the very first conversation. She'll ask you what happened during your delivery and what your baby's diagnosis has been since. No case manager is standing between you and the lawyer actually reviewing your case.
Kelly requests and reads your full delivery record herself, including fetal heart monitoring strips, nursing notes, and physician documentation from the moments before and after your baby's shoulder became stuck. She works with medical specialists who can speak to what a reasonably careful delivery team should have done differently in that specific moment.
Once she's reviewed everything, Kelly can tell you plainly whether she believes your case is one worth pursuing, and why. If it is, she personally handles the claims process through to its resolution, whether through a fair settlement or a trial in court. If you have a case but she's not the right fit for it, she'll tell you that too,
Our firm takes on a limited number of birth injury claims to give our clients the full measure of attention these complicated medical negligence matters require.
Causes of Preventable Brachial Plexus Injury
Preventable brachial plexus injuries are often tied to:
- Shoulder dystocia (the baby's shoulder becoming stuck behind the mother's pelvic bone) that wasn't recognized or managed properly
- Excessive pulling or twisting force applied to the baby's head, neck, or shoulders during delivery
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction
- Failure to recognize risk factors beforehand, such as a larger-than-average baby or gestational diabetes in the mother
- Failure to consider a C-section when shoulder dystocia was likely or became apparent during labor
- Improper positioning techniques used to try to free a stuck shoulder
Successful birth injury claims can result in compensation for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of parental income due to becoming the child’s caretaker, and mental anguish.
