Exploring Civil Rights Violations

A civil rights breach includes any offense that results from force or threat of force with transgressions emerging from injuries and even death. From discrimination based on color, race, and gender to national origin or age, all of these represent and encompass a civil rights violation. When a person’s rights have been violated, it is integral that the offender is held accountable and prosecuted under the civil rights statutes. Learn more about the civil rights cases The Justice Firm tackles.

Police Misconduct

Police misconduct occurs when unethical actions from a police officer violate individual rights as they’re conducting their duties. This can range from fraud, coercion, forced confessions, abuse of authority, sexual assault, and more.

Excessive Force & Police Brutality

Excessive force refers to police officers and other officials who escalate a situation and use more than the minimum amount of force necessary to protect themselves or diffuse a situation. When law enforcement implements excessive force — namely in an arrest — this is often referred to as police brutality.

Discrimination

Citizens have protected characteristics that protect you from discrimination based on your color, race, national origin, gender, disability status, religion, etc. Civil rights laws protect you from discrimination, abuse, or harassment in settings including school, the workplace, finding housing, healthcare, public spaces, and more.

Wrongful Convictions

Personal freedom is one of the most important and basic civil rights, but as much as proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required, systems and people fail. When negligence in a case from law enforcement, prosecutors, etc. occurs, this mistake can result in a wrongful conviction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Victims can be compensated for the following:

  • Medical bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of future income or benefits

If you feel like your civil rights have been violated, always contact an attorney. Because there are filing deadlines in civil rights cases, it’s important to stay within that timeframe to receive potential compensations. It’s also crucial to remember that civil rights violations can be ongoing and systemic — connecting with a civil rights attorney immediately helps control and prevent further injustices and escalations.

While your personal experience is valid and needed, documentation — if applicable — can play a very important role. The initial consultation may be effective if you have documentation that includes employment contracts, housing contracts, police reports, pay stubs, etc. The more documentation you have, the better.
