Good, I hope the UPS guy gets big dough. I hate uncontrolled vicious dogs, and the idiots that own them.

Say it ain't so Joe. The other day while making a delivery to a house. The people there had the family dog loose and began bite me on my achilles heel and they did nothing to stop the animal. Although it was a small dog, nevertheless it was annoying. Are people stupid and waiting for a criminal and or civil suit?

The only good thing about a dog bite case is that the dog owners most always lose them.

Heres hoping that driver gets everything he is asking for- plus more.

well, now, we may be jumping to conclusions without all the facts. I think if anyone enters a closed yard with signs warning " Beware of Dog" and they are bitten, it's on them not the dog or owner.

I don't know any details of this incident, but I am sure it is well documented. If this is just a case of the dogs being loose, then I agree the injured man should get bunches and bunches of moola.

It's usually 99 and 99/100 % dog owners at fault!!...signs or no signs! The owner is always responsible for controlling their animals.

There seems to be a past history of mean dogs at this place. I wonder if they were wearing pantyhose

 

[moreluck]

panty hose legs are good for muzzling dogs !!

How does that work More? Do you tackle them and then get them in a leg scissors lock?

 

[moreluck]

I muzzle my 9 lb. dog to trim her nails.....otherwise she'll bite me. The "hose" material is soft and doesn't hurt them as long as it's not tied too tight. She hates to have her paws touched.

bottom line; you order stuff to be delivered, that action on your part gives us the right to enter your property to fufill our duty. it is encumbent on the owners part not to allow hazzards on their property to the delivery man.

joe is in trouble.

Tequesta is delivered out of our building and the funny thing is no one has ever heard of this guy "David Gunter" he may have been a helper I guess but there is no way he was a full time driver.

The term is ......

"privileged trespasser".

Like a fireman, postman, policeman, Santa Claus, etc......

He might want to settle out of court probably in exchange for one of his fur coats.

He is saving one of those coats for Suzy Kolber.

15 grand? is that all?

i would figure that the lawyer would cost more than that.

joe, settle out of court, other wise it will cost a ton more, and your dogs will have a second strike against them.

i figure if the guy has had that many surgeries, and has not worked in two years because of the injuries, it would be more like 150 grand or more.

That may be true, however God gave me enough common sense to NOT go into a enclosed yard sporting signs of, "Beware of Dogs" regardless if they ordered something to be delivered.
