Having your rights taken away is one of the most demeaning situations a person may experience. Despite living in a country founded upon the principles of liberty and justice, each year, people suffer harm due to discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful imprisonment and unacceptable conditions in prisons and jails. Fortunately, the Constitution and other federal and state laws offer protection from civil rights abuses.
Regardless of your race, gender, national origin, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or age, you can apply these critical civil rights laws when your rights have been violated. Grant & Eisenhofer’s civil rights attorneys are here to help you.
Grant & Eisenhofer litigates multiple types of civil rights cases, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, wrongful convictions, prisoner rights, and discrimination lawsuits.
Speak with a Grant & Eisenhofer civil rights attorney if any of the situations mentioned above have caused you or a loved one to suffer harm. Compensation from a civil rights lawsuit may help pay for expenses that resulted from the harm you or a loved one suffered, including medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, loss of earning capacity, and costs related to pain and suffering.
Civil rights violations affect society as a whole, and lawsuits can help bring attention to important causes. Civil rights lawsuits have a transformative effect on society and help to change the structures that allowed those violations to occur.
