[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what would happen in my company - and we have had dog bites, so I know this.  Our employee would be required to file a workers' compensation claim.  As part of the claim, our employee would be required to complete an incident report and to identify the exact location where the injury occurred.  The dog bite likely would be reported to the authorities - our employees tend to call in from the location and then our dispatch sends the police to investigate.  In the event that our employee needs medical care or loses time for the injury and we have to pay benefits, we would pursue the dog owner to recover all of our costs - we would use a private investigator to identify the dog owner.  If the dog owner pays voluntarily, we would accept payment from them, if not, we would sue.  One of the problems with dog bites is that employees sometimes require psychiatric care.  [/quote]

LOL this has to be parody. Nice.[/quote]

This is completely true. [/quote]

How can you require someone to file for worker's comp? Doesn't the NOT benefit the employer? I call bull, to all of it. What a ridiculous way of doing business.

If your company came after me, I would counter-sue. You would be putting my kids through college. You are on notice.[/quote]

You can file a claim without making a claim for benefits.  If you knew anything about workers' comp in a large organization, you would know that it is to the employer's benefit to know of injuries when they occur or as soon as practicable thereafter.  And, what in the world would you counter sue for?!  As an employer, I am entitled to recover for losses caused by your negligence and I would pursue a dog bite case in a second.  There may be home owner's insurance to cover my losses and, if not, there are likely wages and assets.  It's just business.  [/quote]

What losses would you incur? The dog didn't even break the skin, but you would REQUIRE your employee to file a worker's comp claim. Sorry, that is ridiculous. You're just interested in making a profit off of some stupid interaction that happens every day, all over the planet. Your attitude is why America is screwed. These are called nuisance claims and they're just fraud, a way of moving money around.

I'm not OP BTW. [/quote]
