Re: Injury

This is a complex situation and you should consult an attorney. If your work related injury has resulted in your not being able to return to your prior job - you may ask the insurance company to assist you in finding a new job - this is called vocational rehabilitation. In that case, as you pointed out, once you find a new job, you could be due benefits for your wage loss difference (assuming there is one) for the rest of your life. There are situations where employers are justified in terminating employees however. Generally, they cannot fire you due to a work related injury. This depends on many variables and I suggest you consult with an attorney.
