Subject: Amro Al Nabulsi v . City of Oakland, County of Alameda, and DOES 1 to 100, Inclusive
Alameda County Superior Court Case No. RG19035880
City Attorney File No. 33304
(Department of Transportation – Dangerous Condition)
President Fortunato Bas and Members of the City Council:
Pursuant to Section 401 of the Charter, the City Attorney has prepared and requests your approval of a resolution authorizing compromise and settlement of the above -entitled claim for the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($ 50,000.00), payable to Plaintiff Amro Nabulsi, through Plaintiff’s attorneys, the B & D Law Group, APLC.
Plaintiff alleges that on October 23, 2018, Plaintiff was riding his motorcycle on Telegraph Avenue near 28 th Street when the motorcycle’s front tire became stuck in a pothole.
Plaintiff twisted his left leg and knee and was later diagnosed with a fracture of the left femur and a torn ACL. Plaintiff’s physician recommended ACL replacement surgery, which has not yet occurred. The City has determined that settlement in the amount of $50,000.00 to Plaintiff , without admitting liability and to avoid further litigation, is in the best interest of the City.
The City Council authorized settlement of this case in Closed Session on Thursday, July 7, 2022 (moved by Councilmember Noel Gallo and seconded by Councilmember Loren Taylor – 8 Ayes).
Respectfully submitted,
BARBARA J. PARKER
