I am sorry to hear about the injury and everything that you are going through. An employer refusing to allow you to return to work with accommodations is very much punching you when you are already down.
A refusal to allow you to return to work on modified duties could be considered a constructive dismissal and/or discrimination, however it is very context specific, so more information would be required.
