[QUOTE="over9five, post: 87071, member: 1401"] "and the driver does not know how it happened? Or when?" Danny, why do you think they check us for hernias at DOT physicals? It is like a PMI for your body. OK, I wasn't going to tell this, but,.... 13 years ago, I had a hernia discovered at my DOT physical. This was the old (pre-IPO) UPS. The doctor would not let me work. UPS insisted I get it fixed, AND THERE WAS NEVER A QUESTION OF WHERE IT MUST HAVE HAPPENED. OK, I take that back. The company nurse called and asked how I thought it happened, to which I replied, "Lifting heavy boxes at work". That was it. The company paid for everything, as they should. WITHOUT complaint, they took care of their driver. Exact same thing happens to a driver now, completely different outcome. "As for suing the company and winning, I wonder if it was worth it after all the hassle and laywer fees, etc...?" Hound, There were no attorney fees, and no hassle. The Union took care of everything.
