Re: work wont accomadate injury

The non-work related injury would more likely fall under the American's with Disabilities Act. Many court rulings have tended to make it difficult to qualify for accomodations under the ADA and so the answer would depend very much on the specific facts of your situation and the extent of the non-work related injury. If it is a substantial injury, it would be best to see a lawyer with ADA experience.
