Wrongful Termination Suit Sees Firefighter Awarded $680K
This is a settlement for the Wrongful Termination lawsuit.
Alameda County, CA: A veteran firefighter who filed a wrongful termination lawsuit stemming from his termination in 2006, was recently awarded $680,182 as settlement of his suit.
Ronald Vanderheiden, who had worked for the Alameda Fire Department for 14 years, was fired after the city determined he was psychologically unable to do his job. However, Vanderheiden contended the city could not cite a single instance where he was unable to execute his duties, and that the city relied on a report from one psychologist who deemed him unable to work, despite contrary reports from four other mental health professionals.
