Abstract:
          THE ADA vs. WORKERS' COMPENSATION BALANCING ACT.
 
Recent Federal Court rulings have raised very serious concerns with
regard to conflicts of interest between the A.D.A. and Workers'
Compensation/Disability as they affect the injured worker, Workers'
Compensation attorneys, Employment/Labor attorneys, doctors evaluating
job related disabilities and employers seeking to comply with the
mandates both the A.D.A. and Workers' Compensation schemes of law.
 
Disability evaluations based upon traditional job descriptions and the
ability of the worker to compete on the open job market are painfully
inadequate for determining the workers' ability to return to his/her's
current employment based upon A.D.A essential/non-essential functions
analysis and potential reasonable accommodations.
 
To intensify the importance of this issue, the courts have held that
injured workers may be barred, as a matter of law, from pursuing an
A.D.A. action for discrimination where traditional disability
evaluations have documented a total disability for purposes of
obtaining benefits, and have failed to take into consideration
essential/non-essential functions of the current employment and the
possibility of a reasonable accommodation.
 
The ramifications of the foregoing are self evident and astounding.
Disabled workers' rights under the A.D.A. can and have been nullified
by the improper evaluation and documentation of the disability at the
hands of Workers' Compensation attorneys and doctors.  As such,
potential mal-practice on the part of the attorney and common law
negligence on the part of the doctor are at issue.
 
Make no mistake, this is not just another seminar on the A.D.A.
