There are two types of relief available for the violation of your civil rights: money damages and injunctive relief.
Money damages are available for the loss of property rights and for violations of civil rights done "under color of law".
Injunctive relief means that the government will intervene to stop the individuals who have violated your civil rights from continuing to do so. Injunctive relief is the only remedy available for many civil rights violations, including those under the Federal anti-discrimination statutes.
For more information on remedies generally, see our section on remedies.
