FAQ

While some pregnancy discrimination lawsuits can reach and sometimes even surpass the $1 million mark, the typical range tends to be anywhere from $250,000 to $750,000 depending on the specifics of the case.

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) prohibits employers with a minimum of 15 employees from: Refusing to hire a woman because of pregnancy. Firing or forcing a woman to leave her position because of pregnancy.

To prove this kind of discrimination, you need to demonstrate that your employer treated you differently because you are or were recently pregnant. If your pregnancy prompted a harmful employment decision, such as termination or failure to promote, compensation may be available.

In the US, you cannot be fired for being pregnant, HOWEVER, you can be fired after missing more time than you had earned off for time off as of the birth. If you work a crazy amount of hours, you may meet the cutoff, 1250 hours, or 12 months of work before being eligible for FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act).

Proving pregnancy discrimination requires more than a victim's claim. There must be evidence that the employer acted against the individual exclusively based on their pregnancy. That evidence must be clear, inarguable, and documented.
