Common Types of Civil Rights Cases
In the event that a persons’ civil rights may have been violated, that individual may be eligible to file a damages lawsuit against the perpetrator. Some common civil rights lawsuits include:
- Police Misconduct:Police officers often have immunity from lawsuits resulting from their performance in the jobs that they perform however, should an individual be falsely arrested, treated with excessive force, suffer from malicious prosecution or similar issues, they may be eligible to file a claim.
- Domestic Abuse: These types of lawsuits are often not filed until the victim is in a safe environment. Commonly, other solutions – including restraining orders – are explored prior to filing a domestic abuse civil rights case.
- Employment Discrimination:Commonly, this type of discrimination is based on the gender, race, religion, age and/or sexual orientation of a job applicant.
- Housing Discrimination:Most housing discrimination issues stem from property owners that do not want certain tenants in the property they are trying to lease. This can be a result of race, age, marital status and age.
- Government Discrimination: Those working for the government can also be affected by discrimination, much is the same way as employees of private-businesses.
- Contract Disputes:Are the result of two or more parties that have a written agreement, and one of those parties no longer agrees with the terms of that agreement.
- Property Disputes:These disputes arise over real property – also known as real estate – which often arise over property line issues. An example of this may be when a resident no longer agrees where the property line of their land ends and that of their neighbor’s begins. Property disputes can also involve municipal or local governments, as often city councils will determine the boundary lines of such properties.
As civil rights cases can become complex, we recommend discussing your issue with a licensed attorney from Phillips Law Group.
Steps to Take After A Civil Rights Violation
Following a situation that has escalated into becoming a potential civil rights violation, victims may have a range of options available, including:
- Informal negotiations: These involve a conversation between all parties involved. In many instances, civil rights issues are resolved without lengthy legal battles, where all involved sit down to discuss the matter.
- Mediation:In the event that informal negotiations do not resolve the issue, an independent, trained mediator that works with both parties may be used in an effort to resolve the dispute. It is important to note that a mediator does not have authority to impose a resolution on those involved in the mediation.
- Arbitration:These cases are often heard much faster compared to a court case and are generally less expensive than formal litigation. There may be one or more arbitrators – who act as a neutral, third party – which render an “arbitration award”, which is legally binding and enforceable in court.
- Filing a lawsuit:In the event that no resolution is achieved, the dispute may be filed with a state court. Should the claim exceed the limitations at the state level, the lawsuit will need to be filed in another court.
Having a lawyer on your side during any civil rights negotiation can help to ensure that your best interests are being protected.
Are Civil Rights Lost If the Victim Is In Prison?
While some inmates may lose their right to privacy when incarcerated – along with the right from being protected from warrantless searches – prison inmates do not lose their civil rights, which are protected by the U.S. Constitution.

PLG is the best! Highly recommend. Love that they do so much to help the community.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!

Although my accident was fortunately not a major one, The Phillips Law Group AZ treated it as such. Their staff, specifically Mr Juan Roque was very professional, courteous and most importantly very informative. Mr Roque's attentive service was phenomenal and I highly recommend this firm!

I enjoy my work day here at Phillips Law Group and generally speaking I love my clients. Every day brings a new client or task to keep me on my toes. Administration keeps open communication and is hilarious most of the time! I love the way we celebrate FRIDAY, holidays and birthdays and how everything is so competitive. All in all I’m so fortunate to be here and I enjoy what I do.

They knew exactly how to explain the case to me in a way that I would understand it. They gave me hope that my life wasn’t over.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .
