As an American, your rights include:
- Your right to equal protection, including protection against unlawful employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability
- Your right to be free from excessive force, including protection against police brutality, false arrest, and the unreasonable use of deadly force
- Your right to due process, including protection against government depravations of life, liberty, or property
- Your right to privacy, including protection against public disclosure of your private information that unfairly damages your reputation or destroys your career
- Your right to freedom of speech, including protection against the government when it punishes or wrongfully terminates employees who speak out on matters of public concern
The founding fathers of our great country believed that we are all created equal and we are all endowed with certain unalienable rights such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Civil rights are the rights of personal liberty and freedom guaranteed to every American citizen. These rights are guaranteed to you by the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which are known as the Bill of Rights.
When your civil rights are violated by another person, a company, a corporation, your employer and/or the government, you may have the right to file a lawsuit seeking justice and compensation for injuries and damages caused by the violation of your civil rights.

Civil rights claims are quite challenging, and involve very complex procedural rules. If you do not follow these rules, your case can be thrown out of court before it even starts. For example, in almost all employment discrimination cases, you must file a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) before filing a lawsuit. The EEOC is the federal agency that investigates workplace discrimination and retaliation complaints based on an individual’s race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, and disability. If you fail to first file a timely complaint with the EEOC, you can lose your right to later file a discrimination lawsuit in court.
Civil rights cases also have short deadlines. If you do not follow these deadlines, your case can be thrown out of court. In many cases against a form of government body whether the federal government, the state, county or a municipality, you must give the government special notice before you file a lawsuit. This notice is called an ante litem notice, or is often times also referred to as a “Notice of Claim.” In cases against cities and police departments, your deadline for filing your ante litem can be as little as 180 days after your rights are violated. This is a very short time period, especially if you are recovering from personal injuries that were sustained during a serious civil rights violation.

Excessive Force / Police Brutality
No one deserves to be abused by the police. We are all seeing too many examples of police brutality across our country these days. I personally believe that police brutality has always been alive and active in our country, but covered up and concealed from the public. However, and with modern technology such as smart phones and body cameras, we now have the ability to capture and preserve this evidence when it occurs and hold those accountable for what would have been “swept under the rug” or “lost” in the past.
