When people are hurt at work, they are often compelled to file for Unemployment Benefits. This may be because they are fired for not being able to do their job or end up quitting because they are no longer physically able to do their job. If you quit, you will have to show that you did so with good cause. If you physically can no longer do your job because of your injury, that qualifies. If you have been terminated, your employer may attempt to withhold unemployment benefits. To do this, your employer will have to demonstrate that you were terminated because of a misconduct on your part. Misconduct is intentional behavior by you. For example, if you are not performing at work even though you are medically capable of doing your job, or if you call in sick numerous times for unnecessary reasons, these behaviors would qualify as misconduct. Your employer would have to show documentation of these behaviors at an unemployment hearing. If documentation is not available and it comes down to your word versus your employer’s word, the likelihood is that you will win your case and will be able to collect Unemployment Benefits.
