When employers break the law and do not maintain their workplace free from unwanted unlawful discrimination and harassment, an employee can sue for the damages that are caused to them by the unlawful workplace. Last week the Law Offices of Cummings & Franck, P.C., a leading Californian employment law firm, won their client a $1.6 million jury verdict against Roscoe's Chicken N' Waffles. The jury found that the former employee of Roscoe?s Chicken N? Waffles was unlawfully harassed based upon his race, sex, or both, and also that he was terminated because of his race, and because of his complaints about racial discrimination, racial harassment, or sexual harassment, which was occurring in the workplace.

Providing brief insight into this particular racial discrimination and wrongful termination suit, a senior attorney at the Law Offices of Cummings & Franck, P.C commented, ?Just recently, we, at the Law Offices of Cummings & Franck, P.C, prevailed in a lawsuit against Roscoe?s House of Chicken N? Waffles for unlawfully harassing and discriminating against one of its former employees, Daniel Beasley. Scott Cummings and Lee Franck, who tried the case were able to convince a jury that Mr. Beasley was terminated do to his race, even though Roscoe?s Chicken N? Waffles is an African American-owned business. Furthermore, Mr. Cummings and Mr. Franck were able to convince the jury to award Mr. Beasley $1.6 million in damages.?

The Plaintiff Daniel Beasley is African American. Mr. Beasley alleged that Hispanic employees were being given privileges that black employees were not getting. Mr. Beasley also alleged that employees in the workplace were using racial slurs and epithets, which created a hostile work environment based upon race. Mr. Beasley alleges that he complained to the HR department and the company?s African American owner, but nothing was done to stop the unlawful working conditions. Mr. Beasley alleges that his complaints resulted in him being terminated. When Mr. Beasley contacted the attorneys at the Law Offices of Cummings & Franck, P.C, they were able to find witnesses and evidence, so that Mr. Beasley?s case could be proven to a jury. At the trial the jury found for Mr. Beasley on all his claims against Roscoe?s House of Chicken N? Waffles, and all found he was damaged because of lost wages, and severe emotional distress.

The senior attorney stated further, ?The trial lasted three weeks, but we were always on the offensive. Roscoe?s Chicken N? Waffles attempted to convince the jury that none of Mr. Beasley?s claims had merit, but in the end the jury believed Mr. Beasley. We were happy that we could help Mr. Beasley find justice. Mr. Beasley?s case involved issues of race discrimination and harassment, which we at Cummings & Franck, P.C. believe must be stopped wherever it exists. Despite the reputation of the LA?s legendary food spot, frequented by celebrities like Snoop Dog, Larry King and even the President of the United States, we, at the Law Offices of Cummings & Franck, P.C believed in the strength of our case, and eventually, won the suit for our client.?
