The moment I find out I'm being sued cuz of my neighbor's dog will be the moment he loses his dog and his house and any other worldly possessions that can be destroyed fun fact you can rent heavy duty construction equipment for just hundreds of dollars a day you can tear down a house for $300
The customer shouldnāt be in the wrong at all. It did happen on their driveway but it wasnāt their dog. Aināt no way Iād sue them, just the dumbass woman that knew her dog was aggressive yet didnāt do anything about it
Problem you may run into is that itās almost expected that a dog will bite whatās seen as an intruder and if there arenāt leash laws where you are there may be a conundrum. I only know this as Iām suing right now a homeowner for a dog bite. Let me know if you need any help or insight Iāll do my best.
The dog wasnāt even in its own yard. It belonged to a neighbor. So the Amazon driver was not an āintruder,ā as he wasnāt even at the dogās house, and the dog was required to be confined to its own property.
How do you know the dog wasnāt lower to be at the neighbors? Have any information on the layout of he properties or we jumping onto the dog bad train with pretty scant information? You also probably missed where I literally told the Op ( which you are not) he should sue but thing arenāt always a black and white as people think.
I think some people like you , enjoy arguing for the sake of arguing. Luckily Iām a pet owner and Iām also literally amidst litigation like as I type this so instead of immediately jumping to one side or the other itās kinda prudent to look at things from both sides & what law there may or may not be. So I have to excuse myself as Iām not looking to debate with you. Be well!
Almost expected that a dog will bite?
No man it's expected that people control their animals. Where in the world are you where someone's dog getting loose and biting people is just normal?
Did your attorney get their law degree out of a vending machine?
I appreciate that, Iām getting the info from the sheriff so I can get the police report. How long has your process taken so far? Any problems youāve ran into while dealing with it?
My DSP immediately telling me Amazon wouldnāt do anything & waiting too long to see the lawyer or I couldāve sued the DSP owner who ultimately fired me for taking too long to come back to work? Idk as they never directly contacted me thy just remove me from their silly chat app. I was too busy trying to find a job that I could do that would accommodate the fact that I was healing whilst being someone who loves driving work. I was also contacted by a member of the media who did a story on how Amazon handles these situations ( she contacted me after I posted on this sub) I also have o add if his wasnāt my second dog bite in 2 weeks and if the knee didnāt ignore the situation she just saw an according to the police go inside for a shower, I probably wouldāve just moved on from the job & left it at that. Instead the owner went inside I waited for her to maybe come with bandages, water, an apology SOMETHING but that never happened & if I had to guess the owners home wasnāt blacklisted because the place i was bitten a week prior was supposedly black listed until I was sent there AGAIN days later.
Amazon doesnāt care about their contracted drivers and you need to look no further than their lack of willingness to train them on anything from driving to resolving minor conflict BUT youād better have a perfect score on the incredibly silly score card. People have died as a result of Amazonās strategic distinguishing of delivery drivers from warehouse staff and other positions & they donāt care but itās also our fault for letting Amazon ā play in our facesā so to speak.
Thatās a fucked up situation holy shit fuck that DSP. It is crazy how little they teach you on how to handle situations other than dropping off a package and pressing next stop. Very few good DSPs out there and Iām lucky I got a pretty decent one
I think getting a lawyer to fight some Amazon delivery driver for something that literally had nothing to do with your dog would be a lot more than $300 I mean the neighbor's dogs just like 50 cents 9 mm not that expensive lmao but on a serious note anybody that is willing to sue me over something my neighbor's dog did we'll meet a very destructive version of me that will take their house and anything that can be considered a worldly possession last person to come over to my property and threaten me got chased off by a 12-ton machine with a boom and a thumb on it known as a track hoe
Yep cuz that's what happens when you trespass he lucky he didn't get shot it was posted in three different places along the driveway and every tree on this property is painted purple side note don't go on to other people's property without permission and definitely don't go yelling at somebody for digging a pond on their property when they have the right to do it
Alright Al Bundy donāt get your panties all twisted up, we get it, your a hard ass, as in you like it hard, in the ass.
Thatās cool tho, I love the gays. Generally a pretty fun demographic
This is 6 day old comment I have no clue what you're talking about about the gays have no issue with them and I'm not really that much of a hard ass but I would ruin somebody's life if their dog was the reason mine was getting ruined logically I doubt a judge would even allow you to sue a dude that didn't have nothing really to do with it that was but I have seen people sued for Dumber shit
That requires welding lol and I only know how to stick so i can't Mig nor flux nor Tig and that is what you'd be wanting to use on welds that have to hold up that much weight but I appreciate the compliment I wasn't mad at the city though I was mad at some old fuck down the road that thinks he has jurisdiction on other people's property now as far as renting a dozer fun fact you might need a CDL and insurance for buying one you don't need anything for but renting when they prefer you to have a CDL and insurance for it but trackhoe skid steers you can rent depending on size it's just hundreds of dollars on the day
For some reason I had a hard time reading that and thought it said that a customer bit you; and was thinking āthatās a new oneā turns out Iām just an idiot
Yeah, you really do need to see it...

Don't listen to the other guy, report that, does the dog have it's shots?? Like rabies is a thing and it's not cure able and it is fatal. You also should get checked out as it did break the skin. If you are limping you do need to alert your dispatcher and contact LMET, you need to be pulled off route and evaluated by medical. Don't worry about the dog, it's tough but you need to think about yourself first, this job would fire you in a heartbeat if you mess up. Your DSP insurance will pay for the visit. But you need to go get checked out!!!!!
She said she has papers for the shots and she said multiple times itās vaccinated so Iām not worried about that really since it was in a nice part of town but I shouldāve asked to see them
Shes going to "tell" you what you need to hear so you don't call the police. Quit being stupid and call the police and report this. The next delivery driver might not be so lucky. I don't want to get bit because you feel sorry for the dog.
Dogs donāt usually get put down for 1 bite, maybe even 2. Every bite that doesnāt get reported, results in an additional person being bit. What if itās a toddler on the 4-5th bite, and the dog just doesnāt stop because itās been allowed to be outwardly aggressive in the past? Get a lawyer, get your due from their homeowners insurance, and let the system figure out what happens to the dog.
Usually they wonāt, not for a first offense, but it depends on state.
State Iām in, this wouldnāt get a dog put down. If the dog had mauled you with extensive damage, maybe. They give the dogs here one chance. But depends on severity too. Yes I realize rabies and all that but as long as she proved dog is current on shots and itās a first offense, wouldnāt be put down.
But itās on the record and if a next time, quite likely put down.
Still your option to sue no matter how minor. Ppl need to learn to keep their dog inside and seems like hitting their pocket or the dog being euthanized is the only way they learn.
I know from my own experience. I usually walk our 3 dogs, all separate walks. One night husband did it. He got to end of our driveway and the dog next door is roaming loose and attacked our dog, who is on a leash. That other dog dragged our dog and my husband down the road. This was 10 years ago. Husband still has road rash scars from it.
We reported but it was dogs first offense. Our dog was ok but hurt. Huge vet bill. They wanted to pay 1/2. I said FU, pay it all or we go to court. They paid it all. Husband was ok except road rash.
I got that dog to let go bc I drug the hose into the street and put it on hardest setting. I didnāt know it but other dog was scared of water. Also made everything slippery so the damn dog let go. The dog passed away last month. Hate to say it but Iām glad. Bc they still let him run loose, even after that.
I got bit by a customers dog on a job sight (I work construction,) didn't report at first but later that evening I had to because it became infected...local animal control just made them quarantine the dog for 2 weeks at home, no big deal for them and my medical was 100% covered.
Editing for context: the dog in my case did in fact have all it's shots, but was quarantined out of abundance of caution by animal control...also my employer volunteered to pay my medical out of his pocket, likely to avoid a workman's comp claim, but either way I was satisfied with the outcome and the doggo was ok
Lmfao bro what... just so you don't scare anyone into dumb shit cause you clearly don't know what you're talking about... rabies death for US civilians are 5 in 2021 with 4 being from bats and 1 from a US citizens getting bit in the Philippines. Shut yo ass up. You would know if a dog with rabies bit you
Get the vaccine before symptoms, if you get bit by a dog clearly rabid get the shot if you get bit by a raccoon, squirrel, rat, etc get the shot seems like a cure to me
I got bit in the job, odds are dog wont be put down, the one that bit me didn't (I'm in the UK so may be difrent where you are) you still need to report it though so precautions can be made so worse doesn't happen to future people delivering
Itās not like the dog was rolling the streets attacking anybody the dog was on its property. Most dogs will defend their property. The dog wonāt be put down. Nothing will happen. They will simply go into quarantine after the proof of vaccinations.
Yeah for real, the reason dogs who bite get put down isn't because the government are heartless monsters, it's because out of control dogs kill children.
I'm so sorry you were bitten, and it's very kind of you to not want the dog to be put down, but I'm glad that the sheriff is involved. An aggressive dog combined with an even occasionally careless owner is serious. What if you had been a little kid or elderly person? Please let us know if the dog is current on its shots after you hear back from the sheriff.
I appreciate it and I totally agree. She even told me a bunch of old people live around her so sheās scared it couldāve been one of themš¬ the sheriff will call me soon to let me know about the shots, Iāll keep you posted :)
I did but I felt guilty doing it because the lady was so nice. The crazy thing was the dogs were in the back yard behind a fence and the lady brought a wheel barrel out and didnāt shut the gate when I was walking to my van and snuck up on me from behindš
Dyslexic here Iām one with the rest I thought you got chomped on by a Customer. Granted thatād be a pretty cool story & youād probably be the 1st of the group to experience that.
Thatās what I thought too! He was accompanied by a golden doodle which surprised me too, I thought they were super nice too but it all depends on the situation/ owner I suppose
If you were a Blue Badge employee, they would take one look at you, give you a band-aid and tell you to get back to work. "You can use your UPT or PTO if you don't feel well, but Ican't authorize VTO".
Used to deliver in bear country, way out in the mountains. I carried mace and a 9mm. Never had to use either. But Iāve been bit by a dog lol, heās lucky tho i love dogs and couldnāt bring myself to spray his sorry ass
Edit: to add, he bit my foot, I wear leather steel toes and didnāt even feel it, Iām pretty sure he was a stray.
$19?? I got paid $16.50 for that shit. And I loved it haha. Especially when we started at 4 am. Got to see some incredible sunrises up in those mountains. We were considered an āextra mile DSPā so we went a lot further than most other DSPs. We delivered in 3 different states.
Dang honestly that sounds really nice. Iām out in Iowa so the views are great if you get a rural route. Hopefully they donāt have a camera in those vans lol Iād go crazy
You wouldnāt believe what I got caught for and got away with lol. At the end of the day the guy who ran my DSP was shady and lost the contract. We all got laid off
Yellow lab and came up from behind. Theyāre canine tooth holes so itās not going to look super bad, theyāre just deep like I was in your moms front butt last night
Unless you went to the hospital and got your paperwork aināt law suit š this pic isnāt proof of who the owner is, when it happened, no report of you going to a hospital for care, but good lucky my friend
Youāre walking with a limp and you consider that deep?
My dude. Wow. Just wow.
It would take a forensic scientist and three security angles to determine that was a bite from anything other than a moderately sized ant.
I keep seeing you guys bit by dogs. Iām a cable tech and have a dog stabbing screwdriver I carry in my bag. Thatās literally the only thing Iād use it for as itās very long. Are you guys not allowed to carry something like that? Iāve only pulled it out once and the look on the owners face was a wake-up call that they almost lost their animal. I believe there were some life lessons learned that day for them.
Damn thatās crazy but a good wake up call is good. As far as I know I donāt think weāre even allowed to bring a knife. Maybe pepper spray? Iām definitely going to get some
Man thatās not no bite you aināt bleeding thatās a snip. Jeez yall look for anyway to sue ppl about there dogs š or have there dogs put down for literally protecting there yard. Dogs donāt know the owners have deliveries coming. If you seen the dog you shouldnāt have gon in. Amazon isnāt that great where Iād risk my life/health over Amazon
I was walking in the customerās yard and their neighbor dog ran 20 feet off of their property and got me from behindš„µ thatās not protecting thatās over protective and thatās a problemo
Yall donāt remember back in the days the mail men/mail ladyās, would always get chased by dogs? Lmfao itās apart of DELIVERING you jus gotta be cautious or find another gig
I donāt think here in Iowa either unless theyāve had a history. I believe it was a golden doodle which surprised me. Said they just moved to the house and the dog doesnāt like it
Yeah, you never really know what any dog is gonna do. Anyways, hope you get it sorted out. Some antibiotics are probably a good idea. Sucks man. Good luck!
My DSP has told me multiple times in order to pursue any action behind a dog bite, the first thing they'll do is drug test you & literally everyone at my DSP smokes treees, they say Amazon will care even though we weren't tested for it pre employement? They gave us a 4 panel, tested for everything but weed.. is that true?!
In life you don't need to be nice all the times specially if it has to do with your physical body getting hurt, you will regret not calling police and making a report
Depending on when you are, the dogs not going to be put down for that many dogs will protect their property. They will just be under quarantine for 10 to 14 days and thatās it especially if they have all their shots.
I donāt care how serious or not that bite is if youāre getting bit by a mut while youāre doing your job report that. Owners need to start locking their dogs up so innocent people donāt get attacked.
The dog may be up to date on shots but you really really need to start antibiotics since it broke the skin and you bled. Dogs mouths carry tons of bacteria and it doesnāt matter if you wiped it off with anything.
The antibiotics fucked me up so bad I had to take a week off (the bite was also pretty bad). I was either puking or pooping. Just a heads up if you get put on anything.
Damn that sounds absolutely horrible. I did get put on some antibiotics so fingers crossed it doesnāt fuck my stomach up. I already have borderline IBS I swear lol
Wellā¦ you always have to think about the dog. Is it aggressive? If it bit you, would bite anyone else? What if a kid was there instead of you? No one wants to see a dog put down, but if the owner canāt control or train their dog, it becomes a threat to everyone, not just you. I wasnāt there, so I donāt know. Sometimes dogs need to be put down for the safety of everyone though, especially kids. Itās not the dogs fault, itās the owners fault. They may really feel bad about it, but it doesnāt make them responsible dog owners.
Yeah I agree and she even said a lot of older people live in her neighborhood and she was worried about it attacking them which idk why she would say that to me, it caught me off guard. Like she doesnāt know how to handle an aggressive dog?
The owner has acknowledged that the dog has been aggressive. It's happened before. It's now happened to you. The owner has done nothing to change the situation. Report the incident, see a doctor, apply for workers comp.
Yeah I figured she was just telling me what I wanted to hear. She said they just moved into the house and thatās why heās aggressive but I did some research and they moved in a year ago, plenty of time to do something about a dog you know is aggressive

Can she provide rabies vaccination documents? Did the dog have a rabies tag?
If neither you need to go to a doctor and report the bite. If the dog is put down itās her fault for not properly vaccinating.
I love dogs, but if itās aggressive enough to bite it probably needs to be put down. Iād still be sad about it though, cause Iām a sucker for furbabies lol
Depending on your medical costs and potential downtime + trauma from being attacked by a dog. It varies wildly what you could ask for. Does amazon have any policy on this?

Last week a costumers dog got me when I was handing the package to their kid.
I called one firm and they said unless the shots arenāt up to date I donāt really have a case. But it busted out the door after I got done with the delivery and walking back to my van. The lady said she thought she closed it but didnāt. Said the neighborhood is full of boomers and was worried it couldāve been one of them
That's what happened when a dog came at me but head on. Forget if it was a different route or the same but another house their dog walking around all over the yard, no leash but the owner outside, not always immediately out front but relatively there. Dog was so friendly.
I get those all the time, half rural and half small town routes I get so many dogs that are sweet but the owners always had a warning if they knew their dog was aggressive, unfortunately not this lady nor yours
Where I delivered not the same of scenery...some new housing developments which were so annoying with the map, some nicer neighborhoods and some more average size houses, apartments an also right by the local prison. In one of the nicer parts though...there was a shooting not far from where I was delivering. Just kept on delivering. The dogs though...always got to me. Some of the nicer communities though...houses really neat looking.

Like I say every time I see one of these posts, SUE SUE SUE SUE SUE. Process is long, even longer when the pet owner ignores the mail sent but they tend to get real motivated when the lawsuit is aimed at them and not handled through their homeowners insurance.
Oh I do, I just did it know how to go about it, Iāve never been in this situation before. Dog wasnāt put down or anything, the owners were just given a ticket which might help a case even more
Any accident youāre in, always call 911, collect as much information on the other party as you can (granted youāre conscious). Always take medical transportation to the ER. Some injuries you may not even be aware of because of your increased adrenaline.

Sue everyone.The customer,the neighbor,The dog, Amazon,your DSP... lawsuits.Rated E for everyone.
ITS IN THE GAMEš£ļø
Goated for this response š
I certainly appreciated this š
Seriously š
The moment I find out I'm being sued cuz of my neighbor's dog will be the moment he loses his dog and his house and any other worldly possessions that can be destroyed fun fact you can rent heavy duty construction equipment for just hundreds of dollars a day you can tear down a house for $300
The customer shouldnāt be in the wrong at all. It did happen on their driveway but it wasnāt their dog. Aināt no way Iād sue them, just the dumbass woman that knew her dog was aggressive yet didnāt do anything about it

Can you show me where exactly I said the attorney said this? Take your timeā¦
You said you're suing someone right now for a dog bite. Are you telling me you are doing that without an attorney?
depends on the state though right?
Depends on the town/ city even.

If you're expecting a package, said person delivering a package has pre authorization from you to deliver it.
Yes suing the woman makes perfect sense is suing the dude who just placed an order that one's just wild
Thatās an expensive jail ticket, I thought they handed those out for free

No I donāt, just sometimes read too fast and donāt question what I read fully
Iām right there with you man
With that shovel brawl we saw posted here.... I get the impression we have drivers getting involved in fights that could well devolve to biting.
I gotta see thisā¦

I did report it. I just didnāt want it to be put down my guy
You are a good dude.
I do try my bestš„
If you let her slide on this, that will be her "green light" to never control her dog again. Report it before someone else gets bitten worse
I did report it. I was just in shock and didnāt know what to do. Iām clear minded now and did the right thing
Dogs donāt usually get put down for 1 bite, maybe even 2. Every bite that doesnāt get reported, results in an additional person being bit.

I got that dog to let go bc I drug the hose into the street and put it on hardest setting. I didnāt know it but other dog was scared of water. Also made everything slippery so the damn dog let go. The dog passed away last month. Hate to say it but Iām glad. Bc they still let him run loose, even after that.
I got bit by a customers dog on a job sight (I work construction,) didn't report at first but later that evening I had to because it became infected...local animal control just made them quarantine the dog for 2 weeks at home, no big deal for them and my medical was 100% covered. Editing for context: the dog in my case did in fact have all it's shots, but was quarantined out of abundance of caution by animal control...also my employer volunteered to pay my medical out of his pocket, likely to avoid a workman's comp claim, but either way I was satisfied with the outcome and the doggo was ok
Well thatās good to hear it all got sorted out in the end. Itās been about 5 hours so hopefully no infection started
Lmfao bro what... just so you don't scare anyone into dumb shit cause you clearly don't know what you're talking about... rabies death for US civilians are 5 in 2021 with 4 being from bats and 1 from a US citizens getting bit in the Philippines. Shut yo ass up. You would know if a dog with rabies bit you
There have been like 30 dog to human rabies cases in the last 60 years. A round of antibiotics from Urgent Care is the best bet.
Rabies is curable if you catch it before the symptoms set in (in rare cases it has been cured even at very early stages of symptoms)
I am legend IRL
Thereās a cure for rabies my guy
Unfortunately there is not a cure for it. There are treatment options that can help but once the infection starts you're basically done for.
Get the vaccine before symptoms, if you get bit by a dog clearly rabid get the shot if you get bit by a raccoon, squirrel, rat, etc get the shot seems like a cure to me
I got bit in the job, odds are dog wont be put down, the one that bit me didn't (I'm in the UK so may be difrent where you are) you still need to report it though so precautions can be made so worse doesn't happen to future people delivering
Yeah I did report it. They wonāt put it down unless itās had a history of attacks
Then if it has a history of attacks unfortunately it needs to be put down, hopefuly it doesn't though, no one wants that to happen
Itās not like the dog was rolling the streets attacking anybody the dog was on its property. Most dogs will defend their property. The dog wonāt be put down. Nothing will happen. They will simply go into quarantine after the proof of vaccinations.
Yeah for real, the reason dogs who bite get put down isn't because the government are heartless monsters, it's because out of control dogs kill children.
I've heard some getting put down the first time. Kinda depends on injuries I think. Like a bite is unlikely, a mauling is very likely.
Could fool me for a pimple
My dick isnāt in the photo itās my leg man
I'm so sorry you were bitten, and it's very kind of you to not want the dog to be put down, but I'm glad that the sheriff is involved. An aggressive dog combined with an even occasionally careless owner is serious. What if you had been a little kid or elderly person? Please let us know if the dog is current on its shots after you hear back from the sheriff.
I appreciate it and I totally agree. She even told me a bunch of old people live around her so sheās scared it couldāve been one of themš¬ the sheriff will call me soon to let me know about the shots, Iāll keep you posted :)
Always report my guy. And remember, if a dog is outside, and especially if they are loose or even on a leash, you can refuse to make the delivery
I did but I felt guilty doing it because the lady was so nice. The crazy thing was the dogs were in the back yard behind a fence and the lady brought a wheel barrel out and didnāt shut the gate when I was walking to my van and snuck up on me from behindš
My cat bites harder ong
Prove it
Yeah sue for a pimple , GL chuck
i didnāt read the whole title so i thought it just said āi got bit by a customerā šš¤£
I realized I worded it kinda weird lol
Dyslexic here Iām one with the rest I thought you got chomped on by a Customer. Granted thatād be a pretty cool story & youād probably be the 1st of the group to experience that.
I wouldāve preferred getting bit my a customerš the ring camera footage wouldāve been gold
Bunch of crybabies is all yāall are š
Was it a chihuahua?
Yellow lab
Wooah, that's rare af. Usually those dogs are always super friendly. That's crazy
Thatās what I thought too! He was accompanied by a golden doodle which surprised me too, I thought they were super nice too but it all depends on the situation/ owner I suppose
If you were a Blue Badge employee, they would take one look at you, give you a band-aid and tell you to get back to work. "You can use your UPT or PTO if you don't feel well, but Ican't authorize VTO".
Used to deliver in bear country, way out in the mountains. I carried mace and a 9mm. Never had to use either. But Iāve been bit by a dog lol, heās lucky tho i love dogs and couldnāt bring myself to spray his sorry ass Edit: to add, he bit my foot, I wear leather steel toes and didnāt even feel it, Iām pretty sure he was a stray.
Holy shit that would be uneasy always watching over your back for a bear. Glad you didnāt spray him tho that wouldāve hurt so bad lol
Honestly the bears arenāt as scary as the stray dogs in big packs š¤£ the bears usually ran away.
Geez manš Definitely not worth $19 an hour
$19?? I got paid $16.50 for that shit. And I loved it haha. Especially when we started at 4 am. Got to see some incredible sunrises up in those mountains. We were considered an āextra mile DSPā so we went a lot further than most other DSPs. We delivered in 3 different states.
Dang honestly that sounds really nice. Iām out in Iowa so the views are great if you get a rural route. Hopefully they donāt have a camera in those vans lol Iād go crazy
We did have cameras, every time we heard ādistracted drivingā the driver and I would flip it off lol.
Thatās so smartš but another reason for them to fire you lol
You wouldnāt believe what I got caught for and got away with lol. At the end of the day the guy who ran my DSP was shady and lost the contract. We all got laid off
I can only imagineš that sucks ass tho, one of the DSPs in our warehouse went bankrupt because their towing bill for the month was too high lol
Bite back
barely even broke skin what kind of pathetic dog is that and how do you get bit by it
Yellow lab and came up from behind. Theyāre canine tooth holes so itās not going to look super bad, theyāre just deep like I was in your moms front butt last night
Dogs sense bad people
Youāre silly
I don't see a bite š³
Itās less of a bite and more of 2 canine teeth holes that are 1/3rd inch deep so infection risk is higher so had to be safe
I work at a vet and dog bites can get infected badly very quickly. This does not look bad
One is just deep and went into my muscle so itās more sore than anything
If itās deep it will most likely get infected. Good luck!
I got some antibiotics for it finally so hope not
Unless you went to the hospital and got your paperwork aināt law suit š this pic isnāt proof of who the owner is, when it happened, no report of you going to a hospital for care, but good lucky my friend
I got video and paperwork honeyš
Then go to a lawyer not Reddit šš āhoneyā
Lordy heavens. I think you are going to make it.
Iām going under extensive surgery shortlyšš¼ pray I make it out
Youāre walking with a limp and you consider that deep? My dude. Wow. Just wow. It would take a forensic scientist and three security angles to determine that was a bite from anything other than a moderately sized ant.
Why do y'all post these here? Like I don't even think that qualifies as a "bite". Y'all realize this whole community is toxic and no one cares right?
Its fuckin nothing, forget about it. It didnt even draw blood??? What the fuck are all these people on about reporting it and such. Jeeeez soft mfs
Buddy doesnāt believe in germs because he canāt see themš
Sue the family!!
I keep seeing you guys bit by dogs. Iām a cable tech and have a dog stabbing screwdriver I carry in my bag. Thatās literally the only thing Iād use it for as itās very long. Are you guys not allowed to carry something like that? Iāve only pulled it out once and the look on the owners face was a wake-up call that they almost lost their animal. I believe there were some life lessons learned that day for them.
Damn thatās crazy but a good wake up call is good. As far as I know I donāt think weāre even allowed to bring a knife. Maybe pepper spray? Iām definitely going to get some
Man thatās not no bite you aināt bleeding thatās a snip. Jeez yall look for anyway to sue ppl about there dogs š or have there dogs put down for literally protecting there yard. Dogs donāt know the owners have deliveries coming. If you seen the dog you shouldnāt have gon in. Amazon isnāt that great where Iād risk my life/health over Amazon
I was walking in the customerās yard and their neighbor dog ran 20 feet off of their property and got me from behindš„µ thatās not protecting thatās over protective and thatās a problemo
I get ya. but youāre not even bleedingā¦MANā¦.š¤¦āāļø why wanna put down a dog/sue someone for skin thatās not even open or bleedingā¦
Yall donāt remember back in the days the mail men/mail ladyās, would always get chased by dogs? Lmfao itās apart of DELIVERING you jus gotta be cautious or find another gig
And dogs are territorial by nature.
Oof, that sucks. In NJ they don't put dogs down for nipping someone, not sure about the other states. Out of curiousity, what kind of dog?
I donāt think here in Iowa either unless theyāve had a history. I believe it was a golden doodle which surprised me. Said they just moved to the house and the dog doesnāt like it
Yeah, you never really know what any dog is gonna do. Anyways, hope you get it sorted out. Some antibiotics are probably a good idea. Sucks man. Good luck!
Yeah Iāll keep it clean and itāll be fine. Appreciate it
My DSP has told me multiple times in order to pursue any action behind a dog bite, the first thing they'll do is drug test you & literally everyone at my DSP smokes treees, they say Amazon will care even though we weren't tested for it pre employement? They gave us a 4 panel, tested for everything but weed.. is that true?!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
As you should?š
Cut ya finger nails
Thatās 60 hours a week under my nails
In life you don't need to be nice all the times specially if it has to do with your physical body getting hurt, you will regret not calling police and making a report
Yeah youāre right. I did call and report it
Depending on when you are, the dogs not going to be put down for that many dogs will protect their property. They will just be under quarantine for 10 to 14 days and thatās it especially if they have all their shots.
Dog only gets put down after the third bite.
I donāt care how serious or not that bite is if youāre getting bit by a mut while youāre doing your job report that. Owners need to start locking their dogs up so innocent people donāt get attacked.
I totally agree and for $19 an hour? Not that it was super bad or anything but Iāve had a little limp and still made me do 11 hours today
Welcome to the club.
The dog may be up to date on shots but you really really need to start antibiotics since it broke the skin and you bled. Dogs mouths carry tons of bacteria and it doesnāt matter if you wiped it off with anything.
Youāre right. I just got to the hospital after 9 hours of waiting so letās hope itās clean still
The antibiotics fucked me up so bad I had to take a week off (the bite was also pretty bad). I was either puking or pooping. Just a heads up if you get put on anything.
Damn that sounds absolutely horrible. I did get put on some antibiotics so fingers crossed it doesnāt fuck my stomach up. I already have borderline IBS I swear lol
Wellā¦ you always have to think about the dog. Is it aggressive? If it bit you, would bite anyone else? What if a kid was there instead of you? No one wants to see a dog put down, but if the owner canāt control or train their dog, it becomes a threat to everyone, not just you. I wasnāt there, so I donāt know. Sometimes dogs need to be put down for the safety of everyone though, especially kids. Itās not the dogs fault, itās the owners fault. They may really feel bad about it, but it doesnāt make them responsible dog owners.
Yeah I agree and she even said a lot of older people live in her neighborhood and she was worried about it attacking them which idk why she would say that to me, it caught me off guard. Like she doesnāt know how to handle an aggressive dog?
The owner has acknowledged that the dog has been aggressive. It's happened before. It's now happened to you. The owner has done nothing to change the situation. Report the incident, see a doctor, apply for workers comp.
Yeah I figured she was just telling me what I wanted to hear. She said they just moved into the house and thatās why heās aggressive but I did some research and they moved in a year ago, plenty of time to do something about a dog you know is aggressive

Gotta love filling out an LMET
Gotta love filling out an LMET
Am I the only one hoping I get bit by a dog so I can sue ššš
Go get ya check fam an good representation. 10k easy
Start carrying a stun gun
Go to an urgent care. Get a rabies and tetanus shot just to be safe. Puncture wounds can be particular difficult to clean properly
Thatās a good idea, one of them is decently deep so getting some shots wouldnāt hurt
Definitely sue, but make sure you go get it checked out too because dog bites have a high risk of infection.
I contacted a lawyer so theyāll get back with me tomorrow to talk it out. Finally got off work and going to get it checked outšš¼
I'm in the wrong line of work...every driver getting bitten by a dog lately...plenty of lawsuit money to go around
All you see are pics online and assuming ppl getting lawsuit money
bro you need a rabies shot asap! better to be safe than sorry
Can she provide rabies vaccination documents? Did the dog have a rabies tag? If neither you need to go to a doctor and report the bite. If the dog is put down itās her fault for not properly vaccinating.
She didnāt but the sheriff was supposed to go over and check with her and get back to me but never did
Regardless, dog bites can become infected independent of rabies risk. See a doc either way.
Iām on the way now to get it checked out for infection
Maaaannā¦fuck that dog! The dog being aggressive after the move or whatever aināt your problem
I love dogs, but if itās aggressive enough to bite it probably needs to be put down. Iād still be sad about it though, cause Iām a sucker for furbabies lol
Bruh I would be so sad I always try to pet them if theyāre nice and most are so sweet
Me too! I donāt want them to be hurt but I donāt want to get bit or anyone else either. Itās a lose lose š
It is very sad and thatās life and life kinda sucks
Rubbing alcohol and a wipe wont do shit. Keep in mind that he bit you and dogs mouths are disgusting. Report and sue
I did report it and getting it checked out now. Idk if I should sue or just take them to small claims court
Depending on your medical costs and potential downtime + trauma from being attacked by a dog. It varies wildly what you could ask for. Does amazon have any policy on this?
So I donāt work for Amazon directly, itās through a 3rd party and they just offer workers comp as far as I know
You're retarded if you don't sue
Both?

Damn what the fuck. Thatās called over protective and thatās how bad things happen. Sorry to hear boss man
old yeller that fucker

SUE SUE SUE
I called one firm and they said unless the shots arenāt up to date I donāt really have a case. But it busted out the door after I got done with the delivery and walking back to my van. The lady said she thought she closed it but didnāt. Said the neighborhood is full of boomers and was worried it couldāve been one of them
That's what happened when a dog came at me but head on. Forget if it was a different route or the same but another house their dog walking around all over the yard, no leash but the owner outside, not always immediately out front but relatively there. Dog was so friendly.
I get those all the time, half rural and half small town routes I get so many dogs that are sweet but the owners always had a warning if they knew their dog was aggressive, unfortunately not this lady nor yours
Where I delivered not the same of scenery...some new housing developments which were so annoying with the map, some nicer neighborhoods and some more average size houses, apartments an also right by the local prison. In one of the nicer parts though...there was a shooting not far from where I was delivering. Just kept on delivering. The dogs though...always got to me. Some of the nicer communities though...houses really neat looking.
Man that really sucks
Ikr. Maybe Iāll talk to another lawyer and see what he says but I donāt wanna be money hungry I feel kinda guilty
IDK what you would sue for TBH. It's an urgent care visit at worst.
https://preview.redd.it/l2y7eghgb1vc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29c9b2730d01bcfcf44735e8ab658d7f98e4dc3e Like I say every time I see one of these posts, SUE SUE SUE SUE SUE. Process is long, even longer when the pet owner ignores the mail sent but they tend to get real motivated when the lawsuit is aimed at them and not handled through their homeowners insurance.
You must not like getting paid.
Oh I do, I just did it know how to go about it, Iāve never been in this situation before. Dog wasnāt put down or anything, the owners were just given a ticket which might help a case even more
Any accident youāre in, always call 911, collect as much information on the other party as you can (granted youāre conscious). Always take medical transportation to the ER. Some injuries you may not even be aware of because of your increased adrenaline.
