Over five million pregnancies occur each year in the United States, the vast majority of which result in a live birth. Unfortunately, despite the fact that pregnancy is a common condition and that pregnant women’s rights are protected by both federal and state law, some employers still discriminate against women who are with child.
If you are the victim of pregnancy discrimination, you have the right to hold your employer responsible for losses. Companies cannot treat expectant mothers poorly as they grow their families. If they do, Yadegar, Minoofar & Soleymani, LLP is committed to holding them accountable.
Experienced pregnancy discrimination attorneys in LA County on our team have over 85 years of collective experience representing pregnant women who have been discriminated against.
