Class Actions - Civil Rights
When the rights of a group of people have been violated, they can file a class action lawsuit seeking compensation for their injuries, asking the court to require the defendant to take certain action, or asking the court to require that the defendant stop certain activities in which it is involved. The advantage of a class action is that a group of people with similar claims can present their cases at one time, rather than having to file numerous individual lawsuits.
Class actions involving civil rights claims are generally based upon claims that the defendant violated state law, or federal law, or both. Civil rights class actions are often based on claims that the defendant violated the U.S. Constitution, a state Constitution, or a particular law. The most common types of civil rights class actions involve claims of discrimination based upon race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, or other kinds of discrimination. These claims may be filed against all types of businesses, including insurance companies, employers, stores, and restaurants, as well as against governments or other entities. In addition, class actions are often filed against employers that fail to pay their employees all of the wages or benefits to which they are entitled.
