At Reisman & Reisman, Attorneys at Law, our Los Angeles race discrimination lawyer team brings over two decades of experience fighting for workers who have faced workplace discrimination. We focus exclusively on protecting employee rights throughout Southern California. Free consultations – Se habla español.

How Much Is My California Race Discrimination Claim Worth?

The value of race discrimination claims varies based on several key factors:

  • Lost wages and benefits from discriminatory actions: Back pay, missed promotions, denied bonuses and lost health coverage
  • Future earnings impacted by career disruption: Reduced earning capacity, lost advancement opportunities and diminished job prospects
  • Emotional distress and mental anguish damages: Stress, anxiety, depression and impact on personal relationships
  • Potential punitive damages in cases of willful discrimination: Additional compensation when employers show no regard for legal rights
  • Attorney fees and legal costs: Expenses related to pursuing your claim through administrative and court proceedings

Many race discrimination cases lead to significant settlements when employers violate clear legal protections. Cases involving wrongful termination often result in higher compensation due to lost income and benefits.

What Is The Timeline For Filing A Race Discrimination Claim?

California law sets strict deadlines for pursuing discrimination claims. Understanding these timelines is crucial:

  • File a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) within three years of the discriminatory act
  • Obtain a “right to sue” notice from the CRD before filing a lawsuit
  • File a federal claim with the EEOC within 180 days if pursuing federal protections
  • Meet filing deadlines with both state and federal agencies to preserve all legal options

Missing these deadlines can prevent you from pursuing your claim, making prompt action essential.
