What Should You Do if You Believe You Have a Pregnancy Discrimination Claim?
If you believe you may have a claim for pregnancy-related job discrimination, you should see an attorney. Under California law, victims of pregnant discrimination may be entitled to backpay, punitive penalties, and compensation for emotional pain and suffering.
However, because each situation is unique, it is critical that you contact with an expert employment lawyer about your alternatives. Pregnancy discrimination claims must be filed within a very short time frame, therefore the longer you delay, the less likely you will be able to win your case. Pacific Attorney Group often handle pregnancy discrimination lawsuits across the state of California.

- The employee worked for the employer or sought for a job with the employer.
- The unfavourable action was motivated in large part by the pregnancy.
- The employee was harmed as a result of the employer's actions.
- Pregnancy discrimination rules apply to the employer (in California, this usually means that at least five employees work for the employer).
