[QUOTE="wornoutupser, post: 248164, member: 2196"] Johney, Even though I work (IMHO) in one of the worse buildings in the company, I can promise you that Big Brown WILL go after a driver even though the local police,county sheriff and Florida Highway Patrol have all cleared the driver from fault. In my center coverage, there is a road with a intersection. There is a building that is only 14 feet from the corner. Our driver (not me), was going up the main road when another driver blew past the stop sign, hitting our vehicle. There was a huge downpour at the time and our driver was well under the speed limit. The other driver was doing 40 MPH. Our driver was cleared by all law enforcement, yet charged by UPS with an avoidable intersection accident. Please remember, the other vehicle was doing 40 MPH and our driver had only 14 feet of reaction time to see and avoid the accident. Our driver ended up suing UPS to clear his name and for the court costs only. The judge refused to even listen to UPS's arguments, throwing the case out and ordering UPS to clear the driver and pays his costs. It was quite a show as the local safety guy tried to argue with the judge! Just another example here of abused drivers and how far we have to go to cover ourselves! [/QUOTE]
