State Civil Rights Laws in Georgia
In addition to federal laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, state laws also protect individuals from discrimination at work and elsewhere. However, the state of Georgia does not offer additional protections for workers beyond what is provided by federal law. However, the state does enforce civil rights laws when it comes to credit, housing, public employment, age, and other matters. Remember—the law is on your side.
Workplace Discrimination
Discrimination in the workplace persists, despite state and federal laws prohibiting the practice. In fact, data from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission shows 4,025 individuals in Georgia filed complaints of discrimination in 2020 alone, down from 4,779 the previous year.
Employment discrimination can have a far-reaching and detrimental impact on an individual’s personal and professional life. You may have the right to recover compensation from a company or business owner who has discriminated against you. Compensatory damages, punitive damages, legal fees, and other compensation may be available in a successful claim.
We respect the emotional and economic considerations associated with pursuing damages from an at-fault employer. We are happy to help you better understand your rights and options for taking legal action during a confidential consultation.
Other Types of Discrimination
Sadly, discrimination persists in spheres beyond the workplace. Discrimination is also prevalent in real estate, law enforcement, academia, finance, and elsewhere. Fortunately, state and federal laws such as the Fair Housing Act can offer protection in those circumstances. The best way to determine whether your rights have been violated is to speak with an experienced attorney about the specifics of your unique situations, so please don’t hesitate to schedule a free, no obligation case evaluation with a local civil rights lawyer right away.
