Protecting Victims of Civil Rights Violations

The Constitution of the United States guarantees all US citizens their civil rights. Civil rights refer to the rights of all individuals to receive equal treatment. As such, in settings such as housing, employment, education and more, the rights to be free from discrimination and unfair treatment are legally protected. Equality should be guaranteed regardless of sex, race, age, religion, disability, national origin or any other characteristics.

Although these rights are guaranteed by both federal and state laws, the confusion that follows after your civil rights have been violated may make it difficult to know whom to trust.

Our Utah Civil Rights Violation Attorneys Can Help

Due to concerns for their safety, most victims of civil rights violations do not report their cases. What most citizens do not know is that they have a right to monetary settlement if their civil rights are violated. For instance, if a citizen sustains physical injuries after being injured by police on the grounds of their race, the monetary settlement enables them to move forward with life. This is achieved by using compensation to cover medical expenses, ongoing care, rehabilitation costs, lost income, any damages as well as other losses and costs.

If you have insurance and the violation of your civil rights results in physical injuries, your insurance provider should move in and take care of your while you are in need. Indeed, the premiums you have been paying to the insurance company should be used to cover your medical costs. When your physical injuries leave you incapacitated, some insurers will try to avoid their responsibilities. Some unscrupulous insurance companies will either offer you low-ball settlements, deny a claim or abandon you altogether in that state.
