Orrick allows some negligence claims to survive against San Francisco from an engineer with the city's utilities commission who was attacked by a trio of knife-wielding men when he was within minutes of his job site. He returned to work after the incident, but while working on the job site, was still being subjected to racial slurs and threats from at least one of his attackers. The engineer says he filed complaints with the city and his bosses in an effort to increase security and make accommodations for him, but the city would go on to "medically separate" him. There is conflicting evidence on the record as to whether this was a factor for the engineer later not returning to work or if it was purely out of safety concerns, and the record needs to be expanded further to help resolve some of those questions.
