If there is one thing important to American law, it is ensuring each person’s civil rights are protected.

If you believe your civil rights have been violated, contact civil rights attorneys in Livingston NJ at the law firm of Gruber Schwartz & Posnock for a consultation.

Examples of Civil Rights Violations

• Since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 encompasses a variety of discriminatory practices, there can be many types of civil rights violations. Some of the most common include:
• Fired from a job due to discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender
• Denied entry to a college or university due to one’s race or ethnicity
• Excessive force used against you by police
• Illegal search and seizure by police against you

In many civil rights cases, illegal search and seizure by police is very common. This violation, which goes against the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution, can often cause you physical injury, and also emotional injuries as well as damage to your property.

Seeking Damages

When pursuing civil rights litigation, the major focus of the case will come down to whether the alleged violation resulted in physical or emotional injury, property damage, or deprivation of your rights as a U.S. citizen to be given a fair and equitable opportunity with others who may be applying for the same job or opening at a college or university. To win these cases, it is vital you and your civil rights attorneys in Livingston NJ be able to prove these damages occurred.
