A former Clark County Fire & Rescue employee alleges she was forced out of the department because she was married to another employee, despite the fact multiple related men have worked at the district without reproach.
In a notice for a tort claim, which are filed before formal lawsuits, attorney Robert S. Milesnick says his client, Jennifer Yager, is entitled to at least $970,000 in damages following her wrongful termination in 2015.
Failing a satisfactory resolution, he wrote, they intend to sue the district for discrimination and unlawful termination, among other claims.
According to the tort claim notice, Yager, 46, had been with the district for more than 19 years, and worked as a grant writer and district human resources director. In 2000, she married Dan Yager, another district employee.
