Pregnancy Discrimination Lawyers in Miami

Serving Employees Throughout Florida

The impending arrival of your child should be a time of hope and excitement, not the fear of losing your job. Unfortunately, pregnancy discrimination is still a reality for many employees in Miami and the surrounding area. Our lawyers stand firmly with employees who have been treated unfairly because of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. We exclusively represent employees, not management. We want your rights, not corporate interests, to come first.

Since our founding in 2007, The Palma Law Group has combined our deep knowledge of Florida and federal employment laws with a contingency fee structure. That means we only get paid legal fees when we recover compensation on your behalf. Whether you work at a major healthcare provider in Kendall, a bustling hospitality venue in Miami Beach, one of Florida’s rapidly expanding tech companies, or anywhere else, our team understands the unique workplace challenges in this region and how to deal with them. 

Pregnancy discrimination can take many forms. You could be denied reasonable accommodations, face hostility after announcing your pregnancy, be passed over for promotions, or get wrongfully terminated. No matter what form it takes, you deserve an advocate who understands the law and has experience holding employers accountable.

Call (786) 254-6438 or contact us online today. We offer consultations in person or virtually, depending on your preference.

Have You Been Fired After Announcing Your Pregnancy? What to Do Next

Being terminated after sharing news of your pregnancy is not only emotionally devastating, but it may also be illegal. The federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act and the Florida Civil Rights Act both prohibit employers from treating employees unfairly because of pregnancy, childbirth, or related conditions. 

Here’s what you should do right away: 

Document Everything

Save emails, text messages, performance reviews, and any communication that may show a change in how you were treated after announcing your pregnancy. In an era where many workplaces rely heavily on electronic communications, this evidence can be key in proving discrimination.

Do Not Delay

Pregnancy discrimination claims have strict deadlines. Some complaints must be filed with agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Florida Commission on Human Rights within a limited timeframe. The sooner you get us involved, the sooner we can take the required action.
