Question where do i stand

right as most know i was hit by a drunk driver and had to get a knee rebuild,
thing is now i cant walk more than about a mile without serious pain
but this is a question about my job
i am a security guard ,so this entails alot of walking about and standing for long periods which i just cant do anymore
there are jobs within my employer where i wouldnt have to walk about (cctv) but these are like hens teeth,
so where do i stand with my job ,as i am fit to return to work abit not my one, eg if i was an it worker id be fine
does my employer have to offer me a differnt job, can they sack me, will i have to resign and try and find a new job (which is a very scary prospect)
i am currently not being paid by work but by a personal sickness insurance (ssa finished a while ago) so am just managing to get by
this is starting to give me a very uneasy feeling and the way my last year was ,im not exactly an optimest
any advice welcome
ps
been of 7 months signed off sick for 2 more
ssa finished a 6 weeks ago
im bricking it

sorry to hear that... i assuming she was actually at fault? and yeah i hear it dont help about work situation at the moment (as far as i know, her insurance will be liable for your loss of earnings if found guilty and surely she cant keep delaying her court date?) have u spoken to work? are they not able to accommodate you on light duty? hope things work out for you and sooner rather than later! chin up....

yep she mowed me down (i was a padestrian) ,yea she will be liable when found guilty but only for time off where do i stand if i cant do my job anymore, she's delayed it 3 times so god knows how many more she can do it, work are simply like phone us when you can work (were happy were not paying you a penny)
cheers suzukibabe but every time i put my chin up it seems that some ***** lands a right hook on it

Dave, I imagine they would want to keep you on...but in all reality, if they don;t have a position avaliable for you they might not be able to I don;t wanna put a downer on things, but don;t pin your hopes on it sorta thing.

That being said, do ask your superior and ask elsewhere in the company (who is in charge of personell etc etc?) to find out what they could do for you. Remind them you are a loyal employee

The delay in hearing the case might work in your favour as the extent of your injuries and any long-term disability become more apparent with every passing day.

You'll need medical reports describing the extent of the injuries sustained and what you can and can't do. You'll also need something from your employer describing the duties that you would be expected to do upon return to work.

If your solicitor isn't already thinking along these lines then they should be shot. Chase 'em. Hassle 'em. Make a nuisance of yourself.
