Section 1983 Claims

A 1983 case is one where a person acting under state law has deprived you of a right, privilege, or immunity provided by the Constitution. Basically, this statute allows the government to be sued when it has done something to deprive a person or a business of their rights under the Constitution or federal law. Pursuing these claims against the government can be a daunting task.
