I don't understand. You were hired and then fired after 3 months? What does consequences for the employer mean? Try to file for unemployment and see what happens. The longer you wait the less likely or less your claim will be.
In terms of your state, Florida is an "at-will" employment state, which means you can be fired with or WITHOUT cause. You can also walk away from your job without notice.
