Discrimination LAWYER / ATTORNEY IN LOS ANGELES

Without anti-discrimination laws, employers would be able to discriminate against anyone for any reason without legal repercussions. There are both state and federal laws that prohibit discrimination against protected characteristics, meaning employers can not treat employees differently because of certain traits. When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was created, it provided some of the first legal routes to pursue justice for discrimination. Since then other anti-discrimination laws have been enacted that provide protection against discrimination at work.
At the Law Offices of Matthew Rabban, we don’t suffer bullies and we are dedicated to fighting back against all kinds of workplace discrimination.

If you believe you’ve been the victim of workplace discrimination, a Los Angeles discrimination lawyer can help you sue your employer for resulting damages and negative impacts to your life. If the court upholds your claim, you could receive compensation.

Under California Law, discrimination refers to actions taken against a person because that person has certain protected traits, characteristics or belongs to a certain protected class of society.

To have grounds for a discrimination lawsuit in California, the actions taken have to be targeted toward a specific individual and be different than the treatment of the rest of the group.

Workplace discrimination comes in many forms. It can be company policies that disproportionately affect workers with certain protected characteristics or an environment that negatively impacts people with protected traits. Workplace discrimination can also be differences in pay, promotions or opportunities for people in different classes.

You could be entitled to compensation for financial losses and other negative impacts to your life.

An employer can be held legally responsible for discrimination by your coworkers under California law, both when the discrimination is at the hands of a coworker of the same status and when it comes from superiors.

Often times, you can hold your employers liable for discrimination by proving the employer was negligently responsible for the situation. This could involve proving your employer failed to respond to complaints about discrimination in a timely manner or should have known discrimination was occuring. Each case is unique and talking with a California discrimination lawyer at the Law Offices of Matthew Rabban can help you build a case when you are the victim of workplace discrimination.

Under California anti-discrimination law, discrimination is defined as actions that are taken against a person because of their belonging to a protected class of people.

• Age
