statutory claims

Statutory claims are legal claims based on laws or statutes enacted by a government body, such as Congress or state legislatures. These laws create rights and responsibilities, and if someone believes those rights have been violated, they can file a claim or lawsuit grounded in the specific statute. Examples include claims for discrimination under civil rights laws or for breach of contract under statutory regulations. Essentially, statutory claims bring legal action based on a written law, outlining specific rules that protect individuals or regulate conduct.
