(42 U.S.C. §1981 Claims)
(42 U.S.C. §1983 Claims)
42 U.S.C. §1981 prohibits discriminatory practices in creating and enforcing contracts. It ensures that individuals getting into a contract receive fair treatment and are not discriminated against based on their racial or ethnic background. This protection encompasses various facets of contractual engagements, including employment, property transactions, and business dealings.
42 U.S.C. § 1981 claims for racial discrimination in contracts might arise in:
A business open to the public discriminates against a buyer based on their race during the purchase of goods or services.
A real estate agent discriminates against a buyer or seller based on their race during the negotiation or execution of a real estate contract.
A business owner refuses to enter into a contract with another business or individual based on their race, even if the terms are otherwise favorable.
A bank or lending institution denies a loan or credit to an individual based on their race, affecting their ability to enter into contracts for housing, business, or other purposes.
A company discriminates against an individual in the franchise application process based on their race, preventing them from entering into a franchise agreement.
An insurance company discriminates in the underwriting or issuance of insurance policies based on the applicant's race.
Discrimination in the entertainment industry, where an artist or performer is denied a contract or fair compensation based on their race.
Discrimination in the awarding of government contracts based on the race of the contractor.
In each of these scenarios, if you believe you’ve faced discrimination based on your race during the creation or enforcement of a contract, you may have grounds to bring a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1981. Reach out to our office today to assess the specific details of your situation and determine the viability of your legal claim. We’re here to advocate for your rights.
42 U.S.C. §1983
42 U.S.C. §1983, commonly referred to as Section 1983, is a federal statute that empowers individuals to file lawsuits against government officials or entities when their constitutional rights are violated. Specifically, Section 1983 provides a legal remedy when a person, acting under the color of state law, deprives another individual of rights secured by the Constitution or federal laws.
In simpler terms, 42 U.S.C. §1983 establishes a mechanism for individuals to seek legal redress when they believe their constitutional rights—such as those related to unlawful arrest—have been infringed upon by government officials or entities. This statute is frequently invoked in cases involving police misconduct, violations of free speech, excessive use of force, and other civil rights issues.
If you find yourself a victim of an unlawful arrest, contacting an attorney specializing in civil rights law is critical. They can offer guidance, assess the merits of your case, and assist you in navigating the legal process to seek justice and compensation for any injuries or damages you may have suffered.
