Weston Klumpke’s Palsy Attorney
Our Lawyers Can Help You Seek Compensation
During birth, several types of injuries could occur to the brachial plexus, which is a cluster of nerves that control the upper arms and shoulders. Klumpke’s palsy is a type of brachial palsy that affects newborns after the 1st thoracic nerve (T1) and 8th cervical nerve (C8) are injured before or after they have joined to form the lower trunk. This type of injury can happen during a difficult vaginal delivery and can later trigger Horner’s syndrome, which is a disruption of the nerve pathway from the brain to the face and eye on one side of the body.
If your child was injured by a negligent delivery, talk to our skilled Weston Klumpke’s palsy attorneys about your case as soon as possible. Rash Mueller can provide you with trusted and compassionate legal counsel. Our team is dedicated to helping people seek compensation from negligent and incompetent medical professionals.

Long-Term Effects
Klumpke’s palsy can affect the hand’s intricate muscles and the flexors of the wrist and fingers. Depending on the type of injury, the results can be mild or severe. The most devastating physical manifestation of Klumpke’s palsy is “claw hand,” where the affected forearm tends to lie flat, and the wrist and fingers are tightened.
Other symptoms can include the following:
- Severe pain
- Drooping eyelids
- No feeling/sensation in the affected arm/hand
- Atrophy of the muscles
- Stiff joints
- Weakness or lack of ability to use specific muscles of the shoulder, arm, or hand
- Limp/paralyzed arm
- C8/T1 Dermatome distribution numbness
In many cases, a child can recover on their own with a 90% to 100% return of arm and hand function; however, in severe cases, the consequences can last for years or even a lifetime.

I can’t thank David Rash enough for everything he has done for me! Not only did he go out of his way to make sure I got everything I deserved, David was very caring and polite. He went out of his way to keep me informed and just to check in on my health. He’s a good guy and very very good at what he does! A+! If you want someone that actually cares, go with Rash Mueller. Thanks again David.- Jordan

When I say..you’ve reached the right people..ur lucky to be in contact with them!! Although they couldn’t help me with my case..Leading up to the decision lori kept in contact, showed empathy, was straight forward with all detail! Lori told me more than my own drs or the hospital did..I have closure because of HER! So I still won! My case was complicated to move forward due to other reasons..but she ain’t never let me down when speaking to her! She speaks to you as if she knew you forever! I appreciate this firm so much because before they say NO..they try, the listen and the put work in!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!- Adrian B.

From the first phone conversation with Lori, to the first time meeting with David and Jeff, all the way through and to the conclusion of my case, I felt as if these people truly cared about what happened to me. They didn’t just see a potential “case”. They were upset with my situation. They wanted to help. Through the years that this whole process takes, I have gotten to know them a bit better, and they have gotten to know me. I now consider them less “my legal team”, and more a part of my extended family, whether they realize it, or like it, or not. I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude. I hope you are never in a situation to need these folks, but if you ever are, I highly recommend talking to them and seeing if it’s a right fit for all.- Joel F.
