Corona, CA Family Medical & Disability Leave Lawyer

What if your doctor tells you to take time off—but your employer pushes back? What if you’re recovering from surgery and your job suddenly disappears? What if you ask for disability accommodations and your boss stops taking your calls?

You have rights under California and federal law. But too often, workers who need medical or disability leave face pressure, punishment, or even termination. At Bhatia Law Firm, PC, we help clients in Corona and across Southern California stand up to that kind of treatment. Whether you’re facing job loss, retaliation, or just trying to understand what leave you’re entitled to, our team is here to fight for you.

Know Your Rights: Medical & Disability Leave in California

Under state and federal law, most workers are entitled to take time off to care for their own serious health condition—or that of a family member—without losing their job or facing retaliation. That includes:

• FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) – Up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave
• CFRA (California Family Rights Act) – Similar to FMLA, but with broader state-specific protections
• Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) – Up to 4 months of job-protected leave for pregnancy-related conditions
• Reasonable Accommodations for Disabilities – Adjustments to your job, schedule, or responsibilities under the FEHA and ADA

Your employer can’t legally fire you, demote you, or retaliate against you for exercising these rights. But many do—hoping you won’t fight back. That’s where we come in.

Signs Your Employer May Be Violating the Law

If any of the following sound familiar, it’s time to talk to an attorney:

• You were denied leave after submitting proper medical documentation
• You were terminated during or shortly after your leave
• Your employer refuses to accommodate your disability
• You returned from leave and your position had been eliminated or downgraded
• You were harassed or pressured not to take leave
