Re: deprivation of rights
It depends on whether or not there is a "private right of action" that would let an individual plaintiff bring a lawsuit. The questions you ask are complicated; the answers depend on the specific facts of the case, as well as the applicable state and federal laws and regulations. If you think you have a lawsuit, call an attorney and make an appointment for an in-person consultation. You might try asking a follow-up question with more facts, we might be able to help you determine what area of law is involved and what type of attorney you need.
