Pregnancy Discrimination Attorney in San Diego, CA
Pregnancy should be a time filled with preparation and hope — not anxiety about losing your job. Yet many employees across San Diego face reduced hours, demotions, hostile comments, or even termination after announcing a pregnancy.
Under both federal law and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), pregnancy discrimination is illegal. Employers in San Diego are prohibited from making decisions about hiring, firing, promotions, or accommodations based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.
If you suspect your employer is treating you differently because you are pregnant, call 619-940-5357 or contact us to understand your legal options.
What Is Considered Pregnancy Discrimination?
You may have a claim if your employer:
- Terminates you after learning about your pregnancy
- Reduces your hours or responsibilities without cause
- Denies you a promotion you earned
- Refuses reasonable accommodations for pregnancy-related limitations
- Forces you to take leave when other employees with temporary medical conditions are allowed to work
California employers must treat pregnancy-related conditions the same as any other temporary disability. If they fail to provide equal treatment, they may be violating the law.
To learn more about your specific protections, visit our dedicated Pregnancy Discrimination page for detailed information about your rights in San Diego, CA.
If your situation escalates to termination, you may also have a claim for Wrongful Termination in addition to pregnancy discrimination.
If you are unsure whether your experience qualifies, call 619-940-5357 or contact us to speak directly with an attorney.
Proving Pregnancy Discrimination in the Workplace
Strong cases are built on strong evidence. Helpful documentation may include:
- Emails or messages referencing your pregnancy
- Sudden negative performance reviews after disclosure
- Witness statements from coworkers
- Records showing inconsistent treatment compared to non-pregnant employees
For example, if coworkers with temporary injuries are accommodated but your pregnancy-related restrictions are ignored, that discrepancy can support your claim.
At The Law Office of Devon K. Roepcke, PC, we thoroughly investigate the facts, identify patterns of discriminatory conduct, and build a strategy tailored to your case. Call 619-940-5357 or contact us to begin protecting your future.
