00:00 All right, let's go to the WRD talk line. We'll talk to Greg in Fountain Inn. How you doing, Greg? Hey, good afternoon, Charlie. I got a question, a question slash comment. Maybe your listeners know the answer to. But back in January of this year, my neighbor received a package from Amazon delivery. Right. And that was back in January. Well, about 00:29 Four days ago, she received a letter from an attorney here locally saying that she was being sued by the Amazon driver. The Amazon driver apparently fell in her driveway and got hurt, her hip. Well, it turns out that she was not actually an employee of Amazon, but she was a subcontractor. 01:00 So does that mean that all of us who accept Amazon delivery packages are susceptible to being sued if one of these drivers comes on our property? That's a scary thought. If she was a true Amazon employee, she would be covered under Amazon's workers' contract. But she would imagine that if you were a subcontractor, you would have to have some sort of insurance, right? 01:30 Yeah, you would think, but my elderly neighbor is being sued by this lady. uh And my elderly neighbor didn't know there was an incident. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So your elderly neighbor, she work? Is she always there? No, she wasn't home supposedly when this happened. uh But she didn't know anything about this. 01:58 until three or four days ago when she got this letter from a local lawyer. Is it a reputable lawyer? 02:07 I don't I can't answer that. don't know. But you know, what does that open us up to? You know, if we get a package from Amazon, you know, we don't know who's delivering it. We assume it's Amazon who has insurance. You would think, you would think that if you were a delivery driver, then 02:34 You take on the burden of responsibility for whatever happens on that property. Was there a huge hole? there a ditch? I don't even know. There wasn't. They just fell. Yes. It was a concrete driveway and a concrete walkway to the porch. ah It was in January. I don't know if it was an ice issue. Yeah, right. It could have been. 03:02 I'm just, I just wanted everybody to be aware that when you get a Amazon delivery, you know, if it's not a true Amazon employee, that means it's a sub. Yeah. And evidently they don't require their subs to carry workman's comp or, know, whatever it is. That's crazy. Now I do see that a lot. I do see some vehicles that just have like an Amazon magnetic sticker on the side of the truck. You know, you get your ones from Amazon, get that, but that's, 03:32 Good grief, Greg. I appreciate you letting us know about that. Let's see if anybody else knows anything about it. I appreciate it, Stay in touch with me. Thank you very much. So if anybody knows anything about that, please let us know. Because if this woman is allowed to be sued, 03:53 Isn't anybody allowed to be sued? I mean, and would not that open up a whole can of worms for scams and fraud going on? Now, but I would think if you go to work and I have seen these cabs, here's the weird thing. I've seen these cabs. Have you guys seen these? It says yellow cab. It literally says on the taxi, yellow cab. And then in letters, it says, 04:22 driver is not an employee of yellow cab. I thought, why are you? All right. Anyway, let's go to Brian in Landrum. Brian, welcome. Good afternoon. How are you? I'm good. What's up? Hey, I was going to tell you, um I don't know the complete legalities behind it, but I didn't put up any no trespassing or any kind of signs like that on my property. Mine just plainly says, enter at your own risk. So when you do that, you're assuming the risk. 04:52 of coming on my property. There's several items that may or may not be on the property that would prevent you from safely arriving or leaving. Gotcha, yeah. You are assuming the risk of coming on my property. Thank you, Chris. I appreciate it, buddy. No, I'm sorry. Thank you. Now, let's see if we're going to Chris. Chr ...
