Understanding Your Rights Against Racial Prejudice in WV

As an employee, you are protected by the West Virginia Human Rights Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act for race discrimination in the workplace.

If your employer is found to have subjected you to this type of prejudicial treatment, you may be eligible to recover damages specific to your case.

Workplace discrimination can occur in many ways, such as in:

  • Hiring
  • Firing
  • Promotions
  • Demotions
  • Pay raises
  • Benefits
  • Work assignments
  • Leaves of absence
  • Work schedules

You may have left your job due to the discrimination that made it hostile and unsafe. You may have been passed over for a promotion or denied a pay raise when others no more qualified than you received one. In these cases, you may have lost wages as well as have suffered emotional distress.

If you have experienced any of these events, and suspect race was a contributing factor, contacting a discrimination attorney near you is the next step. One of our race discrimination attorneys can help you file a claim that will help you protect your career and compensate you for the damages your career may have suffered.

A discrimination claim may allow you to recover:

  • Lost wages
  • Human loss type damages such as emotional distress, loss of indignity, embarrassment
  • Punitive damages against the employer to prevent such behavior from repeating
