The Mississauga Lawyer Who Can Help with Accommodations for Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries can be a disruption with the potential to change your life. Some employees withstand injuries on the job that make it impossible for them to return to work. In this situation, the employee may be eligible for disability benefits. However, some injuries are less severe, and with reasonable accommodations, the employee may return to work.

Unfortunately, not all employers are willing to accommodate workers who have sustained injuries on the job. This form of discrimination requires legal help from an expert like Gary A. Bennett in Mississauga, ON, who can make the difference between losing a job and keeping one.

What to Expect from Workplace Accommodation

Minor adjustments to workflow or assistive technology can often return an injured employee to work without decreasing productivity. Mr. Bennett will work with you to understand your goals and help you figure out the most responsible, legal way of standing up for yourself so that you can get back to work.

Under the Canadians with Disabilities Act (CDA), workers with an injury or disability have the right to request reasonable accommodation from their employer, provided those accommodations don’t represent an undue burden on the employer. By law, these requests should not be grounds for termination or discrimination, and Mr. Bennett can help you understand the process, talk you through your rights, and help you obtain the results you deserve.
