I travel in a company car for my job and sometimes I would bring my dog with me. One work day after Thanksgiving I was returning home from my last jobsite and a coworker called and said he was driving home from the same area. He wanted to pull over at a truck stop and meet up. For an unknown reason my dog bit him on the right hand. I offered to go with him to the hospital and pay for it. I said my dog has all his shots and forms. He said okay. On the way to the hospital he called me and said he talked to our boss. An said he lied, saying it was a random dog who bit him and it was on the job so he needed workers comp. I asked why he did that and he told me because now I wont get in trouble and he gets a free ride. He told the hospital the same cover story and has been on workers comp now for 2 months. Before lost wages kicked in he was asking me for money to fill the gap. I was giving him all the money I could afford. Just before the accident he divorced his wife and she was taking child support. When comp wages kicked in she got that too. It angered him and he has been demanding twice the money payments from me and I dont have it. He wants to sue me for the dog bite but I dont understand how he can when he lied about the circumstances and has been frauding comp for 2 months now. The last few times Ive seen him his hand appears fully healed yet he keeps saying hes not going to be cleared for work for another 6 months. Every night hes going to bars and recently went to a hockey game and took on a 700+ dollar a month truck payment. The truck came after the accident and he wants me to make the truck payment. Its out of control. What can I do?
