[QUOTE="scratch, post: 86244, member: 1674"] The bottom line is that you were injured on the job. I think that UPS should cover all medical costs and lost work time. Of course the company will try to get out of it, I hope you filed an Injury Report that day. I have been bitten several times over the years in "my dog doesn't bite" situations. Luckily, my wounds were minor compared to yours. A dog bite doesn't hurt at first, but even a minor one could lead to rabies. I would contact the homeowner if you feel strongly enough to file in court and see if they will make good. The homeowner is ultimately liable because they have an aggressive dog that attacked you on their property. You have a legal right to be on the outside of that house on that property because they ordered something that you delivered. If this is your regular route, you will have to deal with these people as long as you keep it. [/QUOTE]
