WEST PALM BEACH — Having convinced one jury that the city of West Palm Beach violated his rights when it fired him because it suspected he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, an Army veteran is now taking his case to federal court.
Making many of the same claims that swayed a Palm Beach County Circuit Court jury in August that the city should pay him $880,000, Matthew Ladd on Wednesday sued West Palm Beach in U.S. District Court.
