Agreement reached in city's firefighter lawsuit in Baytown
The City of Baytown and firefighter Patrick Mahoney signed an agreed judgment ending the suit over whether thyroid cancer is covered by workers compensation. The city will not seek to recover out of pocket medical costs, and Mahoney withdraws his workers compensation claim. The joint statement emphasizes focus on safety and department improvement. The city had sought clarity since July 2018, fearing a potential $600,000 deductible and higher premiums. A media comment ban accompanies the settlement unless approved in a joint press release.
