Recognizing Racial Discrimination

Employers cannot make decisions based on race, ethnicity, or national origin. Hiring, promotions, terminations, and workplace policies must be fair and unbiased. If you believe you were targeted due to race, we will work to protect your rights.

State and Federal Protections

  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Prohibits race-based employment discrimination for companies with 15+ employees. A complaint must be filed with the EEOC before legal action.
  • New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD): Covers all employers, allowing employees to file claims directly without going through the EEOC. We aggressively pursue fair resolutions, whether through negotiation or litigation.

Types of Racial Discrimination

  • Disparate Treatment: Unequal treatment of employees based on race, such as biased promotions or harsher disciplinary actions.
  • Disparate Impact: Neutral policies that disproportionately affect certain racial groups, like hiring criteria that unfairly disqualify minorities. Employers must prove these policies serve a legitimate business purpose.

Proving Your Case

To establish a racial discrimination claim, you must show:

  • You belong to a protected class.
  • You were qualified for a job, promotion, or opportunity.
  • You faced an adverse employment action due to race.
  • You suffered harm, such as lost wages or emotional distress.

Our attorneys build strong cases, gathering evidence and advocating for maximum compensation.
