Civil rights violations occur when an individual’s legal rights are infringed upon by entities such as government officials, employers, or others. These violations can take many forms including excessive use of force, wrongful arrest, and discriminatory practices. Legal remedies aim to address these injustices through claims, settlements, or litigation to restore rights and provide compensation where appropriate.
A civil rights case typically involves establishing that a violation occurred and that the responsible party acted unlawfully. The process includes gathering evidence, filing claims with agencies like the NYS Division of Human Rights or the EEOC, and possibly pursuing court action. Our approach ensures thorough preparation and advocacy at every stage to protect your interests.
Understanding key legal terms can help you navigate your civil rights case with greater confidence. Below are definitions of important concepts related to civil rights law that frequently arise in claims and legal proceedings.
Police brutality or excessive force refers to the use of unnecessary or disproportionate physical force by law enforcement officers against individuals. This can include actions that cause injury or violate an individual’s rights during arrest or detention.
False arrest or false imprisonment occurs when a person is detained or confined without legal justification. This wrongful restraint infringes on a person’s freedom and can be challenged through civil claims.
Discrimination involves unfair treatment of individuals based on protected characteristics such as race, age, gender, disability, or sexual orientation. Such actions are prohibited under civil rights laws and may give rise to legal claims.
Retaliation claims arise when an individual faces adverse actions for asserting their rights or participating in protected activities like whistleblowing or filing discrimination complaints. These claims seek to protect individuals from punitive measures.

Each option has different implications for time, cost, and outcomes. Understanding these differences aids in selecting the most suitable path based on your circumstances.
