BB&K Prevails on Summary Judgment in Disability Accommodation/Wrongful Termination Case

Client Successes

SEPTEMBER 14, 2004
Kathleen Tevis v. City of Colton

The case involved claims by a former employee that she was terminated because of a disability, and that the City failed to reasonably accommodate her disability. BB&K Partners John Higginbotham and Cynthia Germano convinced the court that plaintiff was terminated for legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons unrelated to her disability, and that the City had made a good faith effort to accommodate plaintiff's disabilities. Colton city officials were obviously very pleased with the outcome and the firm's work on their behalf, particularly given the recent budget crisis and the resulting importance of being able to make necessary reductions in force without fear of second-guessing by a court or jury.
