I was employed with a company for 16 years until I had a work place accident in 2010 and underwent major surgery.
In 2011 whilst still recovering I had to resign so that I could care for my terminally ill mother. In 2012 after many appointments with specialist organised by the insurer and my lawyer I was assessed as having a 16% permanent impairment.
The insurer and employer accepted negligence of duty of care and through mediation in 2013 I accepted a lump sum payment.
I sill had a good relationship with the Employers management but over the years most of those contacts have now left.
The company is now advertising for a position that I would be very interested in applying for but I am hesitant due to my previous claim with them.
I would have to complete a lengthy selection criteria and just don't want to waste my time or set myself up for failure.
Would they still consider me for employment or would I be a too high risk for them? Considering the HR department would have my complete file relating to the previous claim would I be basically blacklisted?
