If a government official, employer, or institution violated your constitutional or civil rights, you have legal remedies. ProSeAI helps you understand your rights and take action — for free.
Free for pro se litigants · No account required · Not legal advice
Section 1983 allows you to sue government officials who violate your constitutional rights
You may be entitled to compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees
Civil rights claims have strict statutes of limitations — often 2–3 years
Qualified immunity protects some government officials but not all violations
Common civil rights violations include: unlawful search and seizure (4th Amendment), excessive force, First Amendment retaliation, due process violations, equal protection violations, ADA discrimination, and Title VI/VII discrimination.
Some civil rights claims require you to file with an administrative agency first (EEOC for employment discrimination, HUD for housing discrimination). ProSeAI can help you identify which process applies to your situation.
Most civil rights lawsuits are filed in federal district court. Your complaint must identify the specific constitutional provision violated, the defendant's conduct, and the harm you suffered. ProSeAI can help you draft a compliant complaint.
