Niomi is a fierce advocate for those injured due to Medical Malpractice
Birth injury resulting in CP and other serious to the infant: a pregnant woman arrived at a hospital with bleeding. Instead of admitting her and verifying her symptoms and concerns, they sent the her home and assured her that some bleeding was normal. In reality, her uterus was rupturing, putting both the mother’s and infant’s lives in danger. As a result of the rupture, the infant was born with Cerebal Palsy (CP) and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) – also known as intrapartum asphyxia (lack of oxygen). Niomi and her legal team leveraged their experience
to produce an 8-figure settlement for the client.
Birth injury due to dangerous drug dosage: a pregnant woman whose delivery process was progressing slowly was given 4 times the standard amount of Cytotec – a drug that helps progress labor – which caused hypoxic ischemic injury to the baby. That medical negligence case also resolved for 8-figures.
Medical Negligence / Birth Injury: a baby was born with shoulder dystocia due to forceful and improper use of forceps before the mother was fully dilated. That medical
negligence case resolved in a 7-figure settlement.
