[QUOTE="brett636, post: 971251, member: 249"] Its a sad situation all the way around. The family of the deceased can never be made whole no matter how much money UPS ends up paying them, and the driver has almost no chance of getting his job back. A few years ago a driver out of a center in my building pulled out in front of a motorcycle going over twice the legal speed limit. The motorcyclist was killed, and even though the motorcycle was going 90 mph the company had no intention of allowing that driver back. He went all the way to arbitration and lost since the company has no intention to reinstate a driver involved in a fatality. Now to the company's credit they did offer the driver an inside combo job, but the driver refused thinking he should not have been found at fault due to the reckless behavior of the motorcyclist. Bottom line was the rider had the right of way despite the high speed and one more UPS driving career ended prematurely due to it. [/QUOTE]
