Oakland to pay $245,000 to settle lawsuit

December 1, 2009

The city of Oakland has agreed to pay $245,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by an Oakland Fire Department captain who alleged that she was discriminated against after she suffered a seizure and passed out on the job.

Vicky Evans-Robinson, 55, who has served as a spokeswoman for the agency, filed a disability discrimination lawsuit in Alameda County Superior Court in 2006 after the city temporarily barred her from returning to active duty following an on-the-job seizure and other medical problems.

 

Judge Ronni MacLaren ruled on Nov. 13 that the city was not liable for disability discrimination but said a jury would have to decide whether Evans-Robinson was subjected to “adverse employment actions because of a medical condition.”
