Former Southern California Fire Official Gets $704K in Age Discrimination Suit
A jury has awarded $704,000 to a former division chief for the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District who alleged in a lawsuit he was fired due to his age.
The Sun newspaper reported that the 62-year-old George Corley was awarded $544,000 for past lost wages and $160,000 for future lost wages.
The jury decided that Corley’s age was a “substantial motivating reason” for his termination.
County officials declined to comment on the verdict.
