RE: UPS - being sued by UPS delivery person for an alleged dog bite

A UPS delivery person is suing me for a alledged dog bite. He has been delivering to this address for over eight years. He was ranting and raving at me with a witness present to this abusive behavior. I am so unhappy with UPS service on the whole, and now this happens. Has this happened to anyone else? Does UPS have a policy regarding litigation against customers? How about there still charging a $1.50 surcharge for gas when in California, the price of diesel is $1.49?? What a rip-off. I am boycotting UPS and using FedEx or USPS. If the vendor only uses UPS, I then cancel my order and find a vendor or will give me a choice. Thanks for listening.
