Fired/Asked to Resign for Work Comp Claim / Disabilty

You should not have been terminated for being on workers' compensation for 5 months. If they did fire you, and you were on restrictions, you could be entitled to weekly monetary benefits. As well, you would be entitled to payment for the permanent partial disability of 10%. Based on your average weekly wage, you should receive 30 weeks of PPD benefits if your impairment rating was to the body as a whole. Did you continue to work during that time and only receive medical benefits? Are you currently on light-duty restrictions? Have you found a new job since being terminated? I recommend you seek legal counsel immediately.
