What are the Different Types of Discrimination?
Under federal law, it is illegal to discriminate against someone based on certain traits and characteristics like their:
- Race
- National origin
- Religion
- Sex
- Disability
- Age (40 or older)
Virginia state law further prohibits discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.
Can you be Compensated for Police Brutality?
Unfortunately, one prominent scenario that racial discrimination often occurs in is police brutality, which occurs when a police officer uses excessive force that causes serious harm or injury.
If you have experienced police brutality on any grounds, including racial discrimination, we can help you file a police misconduct claim to seek compensation for things like:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages and earnings
- Emotional distress
- Public humiliation
Be aware that the statute of limitations for police brutality claims is 2 years from the date of the misconduct.

Your Rights in the Workplace
You are also protected from discrimination in the workplace as an employee. If you have been discriminated against in the workplace due to a protected trait like your race or LGBTQ identity, you can file a Charge of Discrimination with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 180 days from the date the discrimination occurred.
With a successful claim, we can help you recover:
- Placement in a job you were denied due to your race
- Back pay and benefits you would have received if you had not been denied due to discrimination
- Compensatory damages (e.g., medical expenses, emotional harm, inconvenience)
- Punitive damages
