Am I able to initiate a private court action if I believe I have been discriminated against?

Answer
 Under most of the statutes enforced by the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR), a complainant who has been discriminated against may initiate private court action instead of, or in addition to, filing a complaint with OCR. If you are interested in doing so, you should consult an attorney as soon as possible to ensure that the action will be timely filed.
