3 Forms of Discrimination You May Be Able to Sue for

22 February 2019 by Richard Ramirez

You want to be treated equally and fairly, but that's not always the case. If you feel like you have been discriminated against, you may be able to seek legal representation. But what counts as discrimination? This article will take a closer look at some specific discriminatory examples. Read on. 

Age Discrimination

Being discriminated against because of your age is a real thing that people face every day. Specifically, it's something that a lot of older people face in the workplace when they are competing for a job against someone else who is younger. If you feel like you are constantly being discriminated against at your work or while you're looking for work, then you may be able to hire the help of some age discrimination law services. 

Gender Discrimination

The #MeToo movement didn't just happen because women were being sexually harassed while in the workplace; it also happened to address the inequalities of women's pay in the workplace. Specifically, at the same time as the #MeToo movement, a lot of female actresses spoke out about how they have been knowingly underpaid in Hollywood. If you feel like you are being discriminated at the workplace because of your gender, then you may have a gender discrimination case on your hands. Your gender discrimination attorney will work to prove that you have been discriminated against solely because you're female. 

Racial Discrimination

The color of your skin should not impact how you get treated—no matter where you work or what you do for a living. If you feel like you are constantly being discriminated against on the job because of the color of your skin, or even if it has only happened once, then you may have a big civil rights lawsuit on your hands. Even though people think that racial discrimination no longer happens because the civil rights movement took place, it happens all of the time. Your discrimination attorney will work to prove that you have been racially discriminated against and will help you get the justice that you deserve. 

All forms of discrimination happen every day based on a variety of factors including age, gender, and race. If you feel like you have been discriminated against (especially at your place of work), you may be able to sue for compensation. Even though compensation won't make things right, it will at least help you get a little bit of what you deserve so that you can feel better about your life and yourself.
