Baby’s death linked to alleged massive workers’ comp scheme

A specialized skin cream prescribed by a local doctor for a woman’s back and knee pain killed her 5-month-old baby after he came in contact with it, according to a Los Angeles coroner’s report. The infant’s parents are suing the mother’s doctor, whose involvement in the case also led to his being charged with involuntary manslaughter in an indictment filed last week by the Orange County Grand Jury. The parents of the baby, Andrew Gallegos, have filed a product liability and medical negligence lawsuit against Dr. Andrew Jarminski, physician assistant Joseph Gutierrez, Healthcare Pharmacy, Allied Medical Group and Industrial Pharmacy Management.
