- Personal InjuryPersonal Injury trial attorney Catherine Lombardo from Claremont, California Changed California Dental Laws - The Children’s Dental Group on Lincoln Avenue in Anaheim California infected over 100 children in 2016 by performing pulpotomies and exposing their young patients to infected water. The water lines inside the clinic spread the mycobacterium absceccus infection throughout the Orange County, California population. Attorney Catherine Lombardo was the first lawyer to take formal legal action on the suspicious outbreak, when she was met by parents of children with the first reported cases treating at Children’s Hospital of Orange County. Personal injury attorney Lombardo launched an investigation and filed the first lawsuits against CDG on behalf of many of the children. Ms. Lombardo’s lawsuits sparked the interest of the local and national press. Lombardo contacted the Orange County Department of Health, which then conducted further investigation. The Children’s Dental Group was shut down by the County health department, then reopened, then shut down again when a surprise test proved that the lines were still dirty with the dangerous fast growing, highly resistant aggressive bacteria.
