Race-based discrimination can be devastating. It can also be illegal, as state and federal laws prohibit discrimination as to the terms or conditions of employment on the basis of a person's race or color. "Terms or conditions of employment" may refer to any number of factors relating to a job, such as pay, title, position, hours, vacation time and whether or not a person is hired.
At Blackman Legal Group, we know that racial discrimination is wrong, and we know what it takes to win a race-based claim. We have successfully pursued numerous racial discrimination claims over the years, including a claim by a Japanese-American police officer who sued the L.A.P.D. K9 unit for harassment, racial discrimination, and retaliation. The $3,591,000 jury verdict we secured was one of the largest employment discrimination verdicts in history against the Los Angeles Police Department. We also represented another police officer in a race discrimination claim that resulted in a $5,430,000 verdict against the police department.
Whether an employer treats a person differently because of race or whether some type of company policy excludes a particular employee from a job or promotions because of race, a racial discrimination claim may be warranted. Feel free to contact us to discuss the details of your potential race discrimination claim.
