Unfortunately, discrimination in the workplace based on pregnancy is very common. Pregnancy discrimination may look different from case to case. For some, it might look like getting poor assignments, not taken into consideration for promotions, or getting demoted. For others, it might actually look like getting terminated entirely just because of the pregnancy. Regardless of how you were affected by pregnancy discrimination, you might have grounds to sue – and you might also have many questions about how long it could take to settle a pregnancy discrimination case against employers.

Your Right to Sue for Pregnancy Discrimination
Pregnancy discrimination is prohibited under both federal and state law. Therefore, if you were subject to pregnancy discrimination in the workplace, you definitely have grounds to file a lawsuit against your employer. Although you could have grounds to take action against your employer, it is important that you are aware that your employment claim will have to go through the appropriate employment agency – this could be a state employment agency or a federal employment agency. If you are interested in only filing a civil lawsuit, you must request the right to sue from the employment agency so that you could pursue your pregnancy discrimination claim civilly with the help of an employment lawyer.
A Common Question: How long does it take to settle a pregnancy discrimination case against employers?
The answer to this question will really depend on the details surrounding your pregnancy discrimination claim. If your claim is pretty straightforward and you have strong evidence, it might not take long at all to settle your case. On the other hand, if your case is complicated it could take a little longer to reach a settlement. Although it is definitely possible to settle a pregnancy discrimination case in as little as a few months, it is more likely to take about six months.
What is the Average Time Period to Settle a Pregnancy Discrimination Case?
The average time period to settle a pregnancy discrimination case is about four to six months. This allows for the normal legal process as well and some time for some minor complications (which, unfortunately, are very common when filing lawsuits). Depending on the complexity of the specific pregnancy discrimination claim, it could take up to twelve months to reach a settlement – sometimes even longer. However, with the help of a competent pregnancy discrimination lawyer, you could quickly reach a fair settlement for the unfair treatment that you experienced in the workplace.
Of course, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that your claim will settle within a specific period. In fact, only your pregnancy discrimination lawyer can provide you with an estimated time period in which your claim could reach a settlement. Even then, it is possible that the time it takes to reach a settlement will deviate from this estimated time frame.
