delivery boy injured???

[Andrew Urban]

Hello,
I hope this is the right spot. Today, just a short time ago a divery boy was injured at my house. He was leaning against he railing outside, which was a little loose, and knocked it over and cut his hand. The railing had been there since I purchased the house and was on my to-do-list but there have been no issues. The cut didn't need stitches and I used a band-aid and antibiotics. He seamed like the type that might try and sue. Any advice?

I have since taken down the railing, cleaned the porch of what little blood was there, and will be installing a new railing and post tomorrow.

Any Advice would be great.

Just speculating here, but, delivery boy means employee on the job? Injury on the job is a workers comp case. His recourse, I think, would be to file with his employer if he were to require medical attention or time off from work. Unlikely his employer would come back after a customer for what sounds like such a small injury. Would create more bad publicity than it would be worth.
