Bianca’s Story: Black Moms at Risk & Legal Case

Synopsis

 Women of color who plan to give birth to a child in the United States are at risk of losing their lives. That is the message from California mother Bianca Dickerson Willliams who suffered catastrophic life-altering injuries at Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center during the delivery of her second child. Dickerson Willliams' injuries were so severe that it was three years before she could physically pick up her daughter. For the first time, Dickerson Willliams is publicly sharing details of her traumatic experience in the delivery room and the courtroom in the new documentary "Bianca’s Story: Black Moms at Risk” 

Bianca Dickerson Williams Legal Case Information

In 2016, Dickerson filed a lawsuit against The Regents of the University of California, alleging professional negligence, fraud and concealment, and loss of consortium.  The fight for justice is in its sixth year, a waiting game only the hospital has the time and money to play indefinitely. 


“Instead of holding my baby in my arms that day, I was hoping and praying to God that I was going to make it out alive,” said Dickerson. “Instead of owning up to their catastrophic mistakes, conducting tests, and finding solutions for the debilitating physical pain they caused, the hospital sent a social worker to evaluate my mental state and ask if I have diapers at home. I felt unheard, ignored, and humiliated.”
