In reply to the discussion: How to get sued for $1.5 million for personal injury while taking a shower. [View all]jberryhill
(62,444 posts)16. "the ambulance report"
Okay, so whatever is or is not the extent of injury, the basic outline is that someone came to the door, the dog was let out and chased him, he fell down, and was hurt badly enough that an ambulance was called, is that correct?
Whether he was or was not employed by FedEx is neither here nor there. People can come to the door for all sorts of reasons. Even if he was a Jehovah's Witness handing out tracts, or some other unwanted visitor, it does not mean that it's okay to set the dog on him.
The guy is not going to get $1.5M or anything close to that. It sounds more like the whole setup is an insurance scam. But be that as it may, if he was hurt by running away from the dog, he'll most likely get a nuisance settlement of some kind, and if the housekeeper is going to open the door for people when there is a playful dog, she should keep a hand on the dog's collar.

OP
We don't have enough facts to determine whether or not there was an actual injury.
