Re: disabled
Generally, simply being on crutches would not fit within the definition of disabled. However, if you are on crutches as the result of a long-term, permanent condition (e.g., muscular dystrophy), then it could constitute a disability. Without more facts, it is impossible to tell.
If you have a disability, then the law will require the employer to grant you a reasonable accommodation of that condition. If you do not have a disability, then it will not.
