Civil rights violations occur when an individual’s fundamental rights are infringed upon due to discrimination, abuse, or misconduct. This can include unlawful discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation, as well as misconduct such as police brutality or false arrest. Recognizing these violations is the first step toward seeking justice and remedy.
Successful civil rights cases involve establishing that a violation occurred, demonstrating harm or damages, and proving that the responsible party is legally accountable. The process may include filing complaints with administrative agencies, negotiating settlements, or pursuing litigation. Each case requires careful documentation and strategic legal action to protect the client’s interests.
Familiarizing yourself with key legal terms can help you better understand your case and the legal process. Below are common terms used in civil rights law and their definitions.
Police brutality refers to the use of excessive or unreasonable force by law enforcement officers during the course of their duties, violating an individual’s rights and causing injury or harm.
False arrest occurs when a person is detained without legal justification or proper authority, infringing upon their freedom and legal protections.
Discrimination involves unfair or unequal treatment of an individual based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation, often violating civil rights laws.
Retaliation claims arise when an individual faces adverse actions, such as termination or harassment, as a response to asserting their legal rights or reporting unlawful conduct.
