The plaintiffs are free to pursue their claims through the state workers’ compensation system, the judge said at a Tuesday hearing
Early last year, just weeks before a jury was scheduled to decide whether the city of San Diego mishandled a high-profile real estate deal, a Superior Court judge dismissed the last claims from the lawsuit on the grounds that there was not enough evidence to move forward. Now a different judge has tossed out of court another lawsuit challenging the city’s response to possible asbestos exposures inside another leased downtown office tower, just before the case was headed to trial.
” The plaintiffs' attorney Michael Aguirre, the former San Diego city attorney, argued that the case should be presented to a jury, in part because so many people had told their supervisors they were afraid they were being exposed to asbestos within weeks of the renovations beginning in summer 2017. “The city knew that asbestos was being moved from the building,” he argued Tuesday. “The city intentionally did not tell employees that information.
