Worker's compensation is for on the job injuries. You have what appears to be a disability under the ADA. You should ask for a reasonable accommodation if one is nessary for you to continue your employment with your present employer. If the employer cannot provide a reasonable accommodation and you are not able to continue with this employer, then the employer can terminate your employment.
