Civil Rights Attorneys, Fighting For What's Right

Avon and New London, CT Civil Rights Attorneys

Do you believe that your civil rights have been violated? If so, you have the right to an attorney who will fight for you. Your freedoms should never be violated. Civil rights are some of the most sacred rights you can have, as they essentially safeguard your day-to-day life. What is unfortunate is that many people still believe they are immune to the law and continue to violate the civil rights of those around them. At the Law Offices of Pat Brown, we don’t stand for this sort of treatment and will work around the clock to seek justice and reparations for what you have been put through. 

What Are Civil Rights?

Civil rights are rights that are granted to every single person in the United States to protect them from unfair treatment, and they prohibit the discrimination of anyone based on race, sex, age, gender, skin color, religion, health issues, disabilities, and more. Some examples of civil rights include:

The right to vote

The right to a fair trial

The right to be treated equally by the government

The right to public education

The right to use public facilities

The right to be treated by a healthcare professional

The right to receive health services 

The right to hospital or clinic care

The right to a nursing home

The right to federal financial assistance

These rights are essentially designed to prevent unfair treatment while ensuring equal opportunities for all. They provide the pathway to attempting to achieve equal rights for all. Civil rights are an essential part of our democracy because when individuals are being denied opportunities due to the way they look or speak, the things they believe in, etc., it is morally incorrect. If your civil rights were violated, you might have experienced one of the following situations; but please note this list serves as only a few examples of the many ways your civil rights could have been infringed upon:

An unreasonable search or seizure

Not receiving a job or promotion due to discrimination

Abuse by a public official 

Discrimination based on a superficial quality, belief, or opposing opinion 

Inability to live in a certain place due to discrimination

Sexual harassment in the workplace

And many more

Frequently Asked DUI Questions

  • When should I consider a personal injury attorney for a civil rights violation case in Connecticut?

    If you believe your civil rights have been violated due to another party's actions, it's crucial to consult with a personal injury attorney experienced in civil rights cases promptly.

  • How do I know if I have a valid civil rights claim in Connecticut?

    To have a valid claim, you typically need to prove that your civil rights were violated by a government entity or official acting under the color of law. Consulting an attorney like the experienced attorneys at Pat Brown Law is essential to evaluate your case.

  • What should I do immediately after a civil rights violation incident to protect my claim?

    Document the incident with photos, videos, or witnesses if possible. Seek medical attention if needed and preserve any evidence that may support your claim.

  • What if my civil rights were violated by a private individual or entity, not a government entity?

    If your civil rights were violated by a private party, you may have a personal injury claim rather than a civil rights claim. An attorney can help you determine the appropriate legal action.
