Title IX Violations: Fighting Back for Justice with Spodek Law Group and Attorney Todd Spodek
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 was introduced to eradicate gender-based discrimination in educational institutions receiving federal funding. However, even after 50 years, violations of Title IX remain a prevalent issue. If you have been subjected to gender-based discrimination, harassment, or assault by an educational institution, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the offending institution. The experienced lawyers at Spodek Law Group, headed by Attorney Todd Spodek, can help you fight back and get the justice and compensation you deserve.
Understanding Title IX Violations
Title IX violations include acts of discrimination, harassment, or assault based on gender by an educational institution that receives federal funding. Any representative of the institution who commits such acts is in violation of Title IX. Schools and educational institutions are required to establish policies and procedures concerning reporting and investigation of gender-based discrimination, harassment, and assault. Failure to have clear policies and procedures can constitute a violation of Title IX.
Institutions have a duty of care towards students, faculty, staff, and others involved in dealings with the school, to protect them against potential offenses. If an institution violates Title IX, it can lead to mass tort lawsuits involving several victims, including you.
Seeking Legal Assistance: A Difficult but Essential Step
Coming forward about gender-based discrimination, harassment, or assault can be incredibly challenging for victims. However, taking action against such acts always requires significant courage and strength. It is essential to find an attorney who understands the trauma and suffering you have undergone and has experience handling these kinds of cases.
At Spodek Law Group, our team of experienced lawyers will perform an in-depth investigation into your claim, explain your rights under Title IX, look into the criminal background of the party that violated your rights, check if any past allegations have been made against the institution, represent you in any legal actions you take, fight your case in court, and get you the compensation you deserve.
Fighting for Justice
Filing a lawsuit for gender-based discrimination, harassment, or assault helps not only you but also others who have suffered similarly. Your story can help other victims to know that they are not alone.
Criminal charges may apply to the violating institution and individual depending on the specifics of your case. While a civil lawsuit can still be pursued, a guilty verdict in a criminal case can be used as evidence in your case. Our lawyers may advise delaying filing a lawsuit until the criminal case has been resolved, as a not-guilty verdict will not help your case, but it won’t hurt it either.
