Racial Discrimination

Race discrimination is defined as treating individuals differently in their employment because of their race, color, or ethnic origin. If this leads to a rejection for employment, firing, or other harm in your employment, then you may have cause for legal action. For example, you may discover that equally qualified employees of a different race are given higher pay or better sales territories. You may also have suffered racial harassment that has gone uncorrected.

There are several statutes at both the state and federal levels that an employee harmed by racial discrimination can use to assert their rights, either in court or before an administrative agency. A racial discrimination lawyer can help you take the steps necessary to resolve your issue. Our skilled staff at Holman Schiavone, LLC, is experienced with determining which course of action can best remedy the damage a particular client has suffered from racism. We can also help you make sure that you have tried everything short of a lawsuit to address your complaint. However, should a lawsuit be necessary to vindicate your rights, our litigation team is exclusively dedicated to representing employees in legal actions against both large and small employers; we have never represented an employer or an insurer, and we never will.
