Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

Employment law

I was layed off by my former employer and their reasoning was due to the economy. The are planning to place one of my former employees in my position. I was the only African American in the company. Do I have ground for Civil Action based upon discrimination.

Re: Employment law

It is possible you may have such a claim. How many employees were with your employer? You need to file a charge asap with the EEOC. Please feel free to call me if you wish legal representation in this matter.
