[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 86953, member: 484"] Clown Susie is renown for hijacking threads with personal attacks. If it were not for her attitude and delivery, she probably would not be a bad chap. As for the dog bite, if you are made whole, ie paid for lost time, and all the medical expenses are covered(these are to be paid by UPS, and if they get their money back or not has no bearing on if they pay) then you do not have a moral cause for suing. UPS will in most cases file a claim against the home owners insurance if they have any to get the medical costs etc repaid. We had a driver not too long ago that had his arm bitten by a German Shepard. Broke the arm in three places, not to mention soft tissue damage. He was out of work for 8-9 weeks because of the injury. So in his case, taking action against the insurance company makes sense. And not just for lost wages and benefits, but suffering etc. Then there was Eddie, who lost and inch plus off the ends of three fingers to a chow, you think he ought to sue? In the 7 or 8 times I have been bitten, I have never had to take a day off so I was never out anything but time at the ER, which UPS paid for. So to sue or not remains a personal decision. To get immediate medical supervision of the injury and reporting it is not. UPS expects and requires you tell them right away if you get hurt on the job. Period. And unless you do so, and if you develop problems later on, they could refuse to pay your medical claims. d [/QUOTE]
