Do I have a case?

If your employer employs at least 15 employees, and if you can prove that you were selected for layoff because of your pregnancy, you may have a right to recover damages, back pay and reinstatement to your position. The question is whether the evidence is sufficient to prove that  your pregnancy was the cause of their decision to select you for layoff. You didn't say how many employees your employer had. If the employer has at least 50 employees working for at least 20 weeks in the current or the  immediately prior year, the employer is covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act.  If your employer terminated you rather than allowing you to take FMLA leave, you can recover damages for back pay and reinstatement under that law.  Once again you must have sufficient evidence to establish that there is a causal link between your need for medical leave and their decision to lay you off.  In any event, before you sign any agreement with your employer in which you waive your rights to make legal claims against the company, you most definitely should consult with an employment and labor law specialist. If we can help you please call. Best of luck Michael A. Caldwell 404-979-3154.
