While individuals can sometimes be found guilty of civil rights violations, most cases center around organizations, institutions, and companies. Some of the most common examples include:
Schools, school systems, or school administrators
Police departments or officers
Corrections facilities or officers
Employers, members of a management team, or coworkers
Businesses or their employees
Rental agencies
Without legal training, it can be hard to recognize when you’ve been the victim of a civil rights violation. If you experienced unfair treatment related to a matter like race, gender, age, or sexual orientation, you should consult with a Colonial Heights civil rights lawyer about your options.
