If someone has discriminated against you because of race, color, gender, religion, national origin, age or disability, you may also have a right to sue. If a state official has violated your civil rights, you may have a claim, too. And, of course, if your particular claim is shared by other victims, you may have the right to participate in a class action suit against the offending party. Learn about your rights and how to claim them.
