As more people shop and order food online, the demand for delivery workers has surged. What many customers of delivery services – and delivery drivers themselves – may not understand is how hazardous delivery work can be. From mail carriers to DoorDash drivers, from UPS employees to Amazon workers, one of the greatest risks they face is getting bitten by a dog.
In 2022, dog attacks impacted over 5,300 United States Postal Service employees. Moreover, dog bites are the third most common type of injury for all delivery workers. Delivery workers in Milwaukee face greater danger than most: the city is ranked the 14th worst for dog attacks on postal workers, and other delivery professionals aren’t any safer.
Delivery drivers often face challenges obtaining the compensation they deserve after a dog bite injury. At Lindner Law, LLC, we help them navigate the complex world of claims. Our dog bite lawyers can also answer any questions delivery drivers may have about how to handle dog bite injuries.
The first two things delivery drivers must do after a dog bite is to report the incident and seek medical attention. They then will want to contact a dog bite attorney, who can advise them on their options for seeking compensation for their injuries.
In Wisconsin, property owners are liable for injuries delivery workers suffer as the result of dog bites. They will face legal penalties and will have to pay a fine, which will double if their dog has injured other people in the past.
Per Wisconsin’s strict liability dog bite laws, property owners must pay full damages to delivery drivers who suffer dog bite injuries.
