Booker, Casten Introduce Legislation Banning Inequitable Calculations of Civil Damages

Press Release

Date: July 28, 2023
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Legal

"Alarming studies show that minorities and women are granted lower civil damages than white men in comparable cases. That is an affront to the ideal of "equal justice under the law' that we strive for in this nation. The Fair Calculations in Civil Damages Act will level the playing field by banning these discriminatory practices, ensuring that victims in civil cases receive fair compensation regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation."
