If you have recently been injured or have a physical or medical condition that makes it difficult to perform your job duties, your employer may be required to provide you with a reasonable accommodation. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, has a history or record of such an impairment, or is perceived as having such an impairment must be given a reasonable accommodation in the workplace unless it causes the employer undue hardship. What exactly does that mean?
Slip and fall accidents can—and often-times do—happen anywhere. Injuries from slips, trips, or falls are usually minor, normally resulting in mere scrapes, scratches, or bruises. However, some slip and fall injuries are not so superficial. Broken bones or mild-severe traumatic brain injuries can require major medical attention and may have lasting effects on an individual’s health.
When you first find out you are expecting, there are a million details to be excited and nervous about. Pregnancy takes a toll on the body and even a comparatively "easy" and uncomplicated pregnancy creates new physical challenges and restrictions.
