  1. WE HELP YOU TO MAXIMISE PERSONAL INJURY COMPENSATION! PERSONAL INJURY COMPENSATION July 2017 MADE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM? WE HELP YOU TO MAXIMISE INJURY COMPENSATION! Termination of employment in workers compensation claims CONTACT FOYLE LEGAL in the West Australian workers compensation system, there is a statutory prohibition on terminating the employment of workers who have an accepted workers compensation claim within 12 months, but the fine for such an offence is only $5000 and workers who have their employment terminated often find themselves in a difficult situation. What are my workers compensation entitlements in the event that my employment is terminated? While individual circumstances may vary, the fact that a person’s employment has been terminated will not usually end their right to weekly payments of compensation (money paid on a regular basis as a replacement for a person’s wages). In addition, the injured person will have a continuing entitlement to reasonable medical expenses, travel expenses for such situations as driving to medical reviews and expenses associated with engaging a registered vocational rehabilitation provider. What can I do to get back to work after my employment is terminated if I have an accepted workers compensation claim? As we have stated in the previous question, a worker who has their employment terminated still has a right to the assistance of a vocational rehabilitation provider. A vocational rehabilitation provider can assist the injured person to identify suitable occupations where the work-related injury renders that person unable to return to their preinjury role. They can also assist the injured person to find suitable work placements to enable the person to get on-the-job training and experience. You can also engage a personal injury lawyer to provide you with advice specific to you.
