Pregnancy Discrimination - KF Law | Los Angeles Criminal Defense, Personal Injury & Employment Attorney

Protecting the Rights of Working Mothers Across Southern California

Pregnancy should be a time of excitement, not fear of losing your job or being treated unfairly at work. At KF Law, we stand up for employees throughout Los Angeles and Southern California who have experienced pregnancy discrimination in the workplace.

If your employer fired you, reduced your hours, denied your leave, or treated you differently because of your pregnancy, you may have a strong legal claim. Our experienced California employment lawyers are here to help you protect your rights and your future.

What Is Pregnancy Discrimination in California?

Pregnancy discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee unfairly due to:

Pregnancy
Childbirth
Related medical conditions (e.g., doctor-ordered bed rest)
Maternity leave or time off under FMLA or CFRA

Under California and federal law, it is illegal to discriminate against a pregnant worker when it comes to hiring, firing, promotions, job assignments, leave, or other terms of employment.

Common Examples of Pregnancy Discrimination in Los Angeles Workplaces

We’ve helped clients across Los Angeles County, Orange County, and beyond who experienced:

Being fired shortly after announcing their pregnancy
Denied reasonable accommodations such as lighter duties or more frequent breaks
Forced to take unpaid leave early, against medical advice
Passed over for promotions or assignments due to pregnancy
Retaliated against after requesting family or medical leave
Not being reinstated after taking maternity leave
Hostile comments about their pregnancy or childcare plans

If any of this sounds familiar, you may have been a victim of unlawful discrimination.

Your Legal Rights Under California & Federal Law

Pregnant employees are protected by multiple laws, including:

California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)
Pregnancy Disability Leave Law (PDLL)
California Family Rights Act (CFRA)
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

These laws guarantee your right to:

Reasonable accommodations for pregnancy-related conditions
Job-protected leave for pregnancy, childbirth, and bonding with a new child
Freedom from retaliation for requesting leave or accommodations
Equal treatment and opportunities in hiring, promotion, and pay

Our team will make sure you understand your rights, and that your employer is held accountable if they violated them.

Back pay (lost wages and benefits)
