San Antonio Lawyers for Pregnancy Discrimination Victims
Many women think twice before letting their employer know that they are pregnant. This is not surprising since some employers respond to the news by finding an excuse to fire the pregnant worker.
At Kocurek & Krudop, P.C., in San Antonio, our lawyers represent the victims of pregnancy discrimination in central and south Texas. If you think you have been denied a job or treated unfairly at work on the basis of your pregnancy, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
What is Pregnancy Discrimination?
Pregnancy discrimination can take many forms in the workplace:
- Not hiring you for a position because you are pregnant
- Denying you a promotion because you are pregnant
- Firing you after finding out that you are pregnant
- Not providing disability leave for pregnant workers, while offering these benefits for employees with other health conditions
Pregnancy discrimination can be difficult to prove. You will need evidence such as e-mails, writings, phone messages and conversations overhead by a witness to prove the discriminatory behavior.
Example: In not promoting you to a new position, did your supervisor tell you that you will not have time to fulfill the responsibilities of the position while you are caring for a baby? Did someone else hear your supervisor say this?
As a victim of pregnancy discrimination in the workplace, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages (past and future), mental anguish damages, attorney fees, and other monetary damages.
