Besides, hiring a lawyer and suing the homeowner, the lawyer could also offer protection against Fedex firing the employee after 90 days.
Would you really need a lawyer to sue the homeowner?

Workers Comp does not pays for Pain and Suffering.
Probably would ask why he let himself get bitten or why didn't he sense dogs would be appearing from nowhere. Not to mention holding his PPad above his head causing the dogs to stop, turn around and run away.I wonder what Dano and bb would say to justify this despicable treatment?

I refuse to get out of my truck if a dog is running around barking. Had a check ride the other day, pulled up to the resi and lo and behold 3 dogs came running out, one with only 3 legs. The owner said, watch out for the 3 legged dog, he bites. I made my manager get out and deliver the package, because otherwise I would be held responsible for the dog bite.
Different rules for Ground and Express. I had a coworker (at Express) who was bitten. Management really pressured him to not sue. He won a nice settlement, WITH the assistance of his lawyer.Fedex was never involved. Didn't hear a word put of them.
Yep, this company is so far beyond the point of ridiculosity when it comes to that crap. I swear, if a meteorite fell on top of my head it would be MY fault for not getting the BIG picture. So easy for these jackwads to sit safely up in their ivory towers and preach to us about how foolishly unsafe we are. It's an inherently unsafe work environment, idiots. I'd love to see what kind of safety record these clowns would rack up if suddenly THEY had to get out in the real world for just a week. Let's start with Fredward. We already know how safe it is to be walking down the street with him coming along behind the wheel.I have been told that dog bites are preventable injuries because the employee should have "anticpated the hazard."

Absolutely. I have been told that dog bites are preventable injuries because the employee should have "anticpated the hazard." I was delivering a residential one time and was walking up the sidewalk to the front door when I was knocked to the Ground by a very large Rottweiler that had come around the side of the house without a sound. No barking...nothing. He's standing over me, just sitting there, and the owner walks up, apologizing profusely.
I threw his Courier Pack against the door and got up, extremely pissed. Luckily, I wasn't hurt, but my heart was beating very fast and I was shaking. The owner said to wait, took the dog back in the house, and was back about 2 minutes later. He signed for the package and handed me a wad of $20's and begged me not to call the police, Animal Control, or a lawyer.
I took the money and left. End of story.
That makes sense.Let me clarify. The home owner's insurance did pay pain and suffering in the settlement that came about from work comp insurance during the home owner.
I'd tell them either I sue them or you can pay me pain and suffering.FedEx will put some serious pressure on you to NOT sue the homeowner. Looks bad.
Yes!!!Would you really need a lawyer to sue the homeowner?
Now THAT'S funny.Yes. The insurance company will have lawyers heavily involved. My driver was even counter-sued for "trespassing".
And that is called "settling out of court" children, and there is nothing wrong with that at all. If they begged you not to get law enforcement involved, obviously that animal is a repeat offender.
